'Her best yet, a dazzling hymn to hope, uniting the past and present with a chorus of voices . . . [Ali Smith] is lighting us a path out of the nightmarish now'Observer
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.

in
Ali
Smith's
seasonal
quartet

to
hope,

the
past
and

with
a
chorus
of
voices...[Ali
Smith]

Is there a writer so critically acclaimed and universally beloved?...Autumn,WinterandSpringare stories of the unlikely connections human beings can make and the cost exacted when those connections are broken. They are state of the nation novels which understand that the nation is you, is me, is all of us: the nation is our choices, our fears, our losses...[Ali Smith]is the national novelist we need in 2019
An astonishing accomplishment and a book for all seasons
Smith is a masterful storyteller...Springis political but Smith is more concerned with the human fallout of current affairs then the machinations of elites... Through her account of unlikely friendships, Smith brings human values to the fore.Savour it, because there is just one instalment left
Springweaves a story around the most pressing issues of our time... [A] bubbling, babbling brook of a book...Smith tells stories in a voice you can't help but listen to
A powerful vision of lost souls in a divided Britain...As Smith's Seasonal Quartet moves towards completion her own role in British fiction looks ever more vital. The final page proclaims spring 'the great connective'. It's not a bad description of Smith herself
Beguiling... The eagerly awaited third instalment
Infectious in its energy and warmth
Just when things were starting to look really bad, along comes the third instalment in Ali Smith's seasonal quartet to lift us out of the gloom...An extraordinary embodiment of the ways in which storytelling connects us...The work of Katherine Mansfield and Rilke, Greek myths and the propulsive lyricism of spring itself, thread together in narratives of loss and rejuvenation
The third of herexceptional Seasonal quartet, which riffs back and forth withAutumnandWinterto expound onthe importance of hope to move us beyond the darkest of times
The most compelling and coherent of the three books... Smith, as always is interested in how a story gets told, and who gets to tell it
Ali Smith is one of our greatest living novelists, the Virginia Woolf of our times.
