Sixty Years in Winter

Sixty Years in Winter tells a nice story of sixty-year-old Josy, who leaves her husband on her birthday. It’s in the middle of the winter, and she drives away in her minivan with no destination in mind, with no plans for where to go.

I picked this up because of the illustrator Aimée de Jongh, because I loved her previous work, Days of Sand. The illustrations were excellent, as I expected. But the story was not so much to my liking. I couldn’t believe how Josy was planning this, but then ran off with no plan. And she often acted pretty immaturely. I guess she could at least try to explain to her family.

This graphic novel is a quick read for those who like bittersweet stories. But for me, the story could be better. 3.5 stars.
