The first novel in Ali Smith's Seasonal Quartet is an unforgettable story about aging and time and love—and stories themselves.
Autumn. Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. Two old friends—Daniel, a centenarian, and Elisabeth, born in 1984—look to both the future and the past as the United Kingdom stands divided by a historic, once-in-a-generation summer.
Love is won, love is lost. Hope is hand-in-hand with hopelessness. The seasons roll round, as ever.
A luminous meditation on the meaning of richness and harvest and worth, Autumn is the first installment of Ali Smith's Seasonal Quartet, and it casts an eye over our own time: Who are we? What are we made of? Shakespearean jeu d'esprit, Keatsian melancholy, the sheer bright energy of 1960s pop art.
Autumn is wide-ranging in time-scale and light-footed through histories.
"Beautiful, subtle. ... Brimming with humanity and bending, despite everything, toward hope."—New York Times Book Review
