A review by laura_corsi
Autumn by Ali Smith

3.0

Elizabeth is a young girl, who upon moving into a new row home with her mom after her dad has left, strikes up a friendship with the older gentleman who lives next door. Daniel becomes a grandfather/father figure to her and shapes her thinking in many ways that baffle Elizabeth's mother. Daniel himself, however, is a bit of mystery. A mystery that Elizabeth must unravel at the end of Daniel's life, before it is too late.

This is a sort of melancholy tale that seems to reflect the dying of the year.
