I liked this book even more than I liked Autumn, and I had already rated it 5 stars.
It's a very fun read, in how Smith playes with language (if you like that kind of style), but what I loved the most is Smith knows how to comment on very complex and important political issues without leaving us hopeless after all.

Finished on the couch after my second nap of the day.
I can see my rating moving up after reading other books this year but as always with Ali smith there’s parts I love and such believable dialogue but then there’s also something so abstract I simply don’t understand why it’s happening.

Smith finds a way to connect the post war and cold war past, with the very current present. she makes reference to Brexit and to Donald Trump, things that have only happened in the past year. she keeps the past current, showing the importance of history, both familial and personal, and political.
