Really clever piece of writing that kept me confused but wanting to read more. I think it would get better the more you read it so will be reading it again next winter.

Appropriately quirky sprinkled with pensive refection; as expected from Ali Smith.

a beautiful and sad exploration of language. of relationships both transient and ancient. a metafictional reflection on how winter is a time for recollection. there is not much in the present that is permanent or true, so we look to the past, or else the future.

I realised that I am not the target audience for this book at all. I reached the point where the thought of picking it up to keep going filled me with dread. Im just not a girl that gets it. Life is too short to read books you hate.
