Bleak. Frosty wind, earth as iron, water as stone, so the old song goes. The shortest days, the longest nights.
The trees are bare and shivering. The summer's leaves? Dead litter. The world shrinks; the sap sinks.
But winter makes things visible. And if there's ice, there'll be fire.
In Ali Smith's Winter, lifeforce matches up to the toughest of the
seasons.
In this second novel in her acclaimed Seasonal cycle,
the follow-up to her sensational Autumn, Smith's shape-shifting quartet
of novels casts a merry eye over a bleak post-truth era with a story
rooted in history, memory and warmth, its taproot deep in the
evergreens: art, love, laughter. It's the season that teaches us
survival. Here comes Winter.
