Lovely. Really appreciated how the wealthy, politically conservative sister was fleshed out into a full human character and the creative, compassionate, awesome activist sister had some humanizing flaws. Like I know that should be a low bar, and Ali Smith did a lot more noteworthy things in this book like her famous wordplay and creativity in general, I guess I've just suffered through too many subpar books in my lifetime to not appreciate and notice these sorts of hallmarks of basic, competent novel writing.

"I said, Art is seeing things. And your aunt said, that's a great description of what art is."
I enjoyed the structure of returning to Christmases past. The relationship between the sisters over time and the references to art and literature. I also enjoyed finding out more about rge Greenham ommon protests.
This book was really good. Much less confusing then Autumn which I like because it made it easier for me to read. The characters are all very interesting and the story is pretty unique. I enjoyed

Classic Ali Smith seasonal quartet. Enjoyable reading experience and interesting political discussions.
I love these seasonal books. I love Ali Smith's writing. I love what she chooses to focus on. Can't wait for the last two.
