From Man Booker Prize Finalist Ali Smith, Winter is the second novel
in her Seasonal Quartet. This much-anticipated follow-up to Autumn is
one of the Best Books of the Year from the New York Public Library.
"A stunning meditation on a complex, emotional moment in history."
--Time
Winter. Bleak. Frosty wind, earth as iron, water as stone, so the old
song goes. And now Art's mother is seeing things. Come to think of it,
Art's seeing things himself.
When four people, strangers and family, converge on a fifteen-bedroom
house in Cornwall for Christmas, will there be enough room for everyone?
Winter. It makes things visible. Ali Smith's shapeshifting Winter
casts a warm, wise, merry and uncompromising eye over a post-truth era
in a story rooted in history and memory and with a taproot deep in the
evergreens, art and love.
