SynopsisAutumn 2016`Daniel is a century old. Elisabeth, born in 1984, has her eye on the future. and the UK is in pieces, 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. Ali Smith`s new novel is a meditation on a world filling up with borders, on what richness and worth are, on what harvest means. From Shakespearian jeu despite, via Keatsian melancholy and the sheer bright energy of 1960s Pop Art, this first in a quartet of novels casts an eye over our own time, asking who we are, where we are, right now. Here is time, ever-changing, ever cyclical. Here comes Autumn.
