"The body gives up faster than the soul. Time wrinkles it, wounds it, debases it...varicose veins, menopause. Time makes it a caricature. The body plays along, a good sport.

The soul though is a sore loser. It needs more time to blow the candles. It only concedes in fits and starts...through painful revelations, through a series of frights."

This is a wholesome love story of two people when they are supposed to be in the "autumn" of their lives. Blossoms in Autumn touched on our innate fear of old age and I particularly love how it was presented in the prose! This graphic novel reminds us that we can always find that silver lining to birth new meaning in our lives. This was so beautiful and I love the transition of sepia tones and the hazy quality of the art when it reached the scene when they were making love. It was just so beautiful and touching!
