This has been my favourite so far of the series (3 of 4). It is perhaps the most story-led and less abstract than Autumn and Winter.
It's still in keeping with the poetic and brash style with political commentary.

I had very few preconceptions about this book other than finding the concept of four independent, seasonal novels really interesting. I read this book way faster than expected. The author deftly navigates multiple voices and manages to tell story wrapped in a much bigger story about the unfailing persistence of life.
