Just wonderful. Why is this seasonal quartet the first thing I've ever read by Ali Smith? She is a visionary writer, so playful with language and so poignant. Slightly more fractured and experimental than Autumn, but isn't that the way of the seasons? A wonderful way to welcome in the new year. Bring on Spring!
"Where would we be without our ability to see beyond what it is we're supposed to be seeing."
A very abstract read that I found a bit all over the place. However I think Smith's writing is complex and rich and I want to read it again to pull out all of it's meaning.

Så smarta konversationer som förde boken framåt, men den hade inte lidit av ett par händelser. Bra bok ändå

Oh my, this was amazing. Really enjoyed the reflections on human connection, especially familiar relationships, and the reflections on nature and the world changing - and I loved the characters. Wish I read this in december tho
