Autumn

"Autumn" is the first book in Ali Smith’s fantastic and praised Seasonal Quartet.

Daniel Gluck and Elizabeth Demand makes an odd friendship. Daniel is 101 years old and Elizabeth 32. He is waiting to die in the nursing home shortly after the Brexit poll. Elizabeth was warned by her mother in 1993 about close to their mysterious neighbor who just moved in across them. But Elizabeth refused to listen to her mother. Ali Smith tells a vivid and thoughtful story of today’s England through her beautiful characters’ life.

 

All the four books in Ali Smith's Seasonal Quartet can be read separately but is interconnected in a wide-ranging timescale.
