Description

From the bestselling author of Autumn and Winter comes the next instalment in the remarkable, once-in-a-generation masterpiece, the Seasonal Quartet. What unites Katherine Mansfield, Charlie Chaplin, Shakespeare, Rilke, Beethoven, Brexit, the present, the past, the north, the south, the east, the west, a man mourning lost times, a woman trapped in modern times? Spring. The great connective. With an eye to the migrancy of story over time, and riffing on Pericles, one of Shakespeare's most resistant and rollicking works, Ali Smith tells the impossible tale of an impossible time. In a time of walls and lockdown Smith opens the door.The time we're living in is changing nature. Will it change the nature of story? Hope springs eternal.

Professional reviews

"From the bestselling author of Autumn and Winter, as well as the Baileys Prize-winning How to be both, comes the next installment in the remarkable, once-in-a-generation masterpiece, the Seasonal Quartet. "The novel of the year is obviously Autumn, which managed the miracle of making at least a kind of sense out of post-Brexit Britain." OBSERVER on Autumn "Rank[s] among the most original, consoling and inspiring of the artistic responses to 'this mad and bitter mess' of the present" FINANCIAL TIMES, on Winter "A novel of great ferocity, tenderness and generosity of spirit that you feel Dickens would have recognised. Smith is engaged in an extended process of mythologizing the present states of Britain... Luminously beautiful" OBSERVER, on Winter"
