ashmagoffin 's review for:
Winter
by Ali Smith
I'm so glad that I snuck this book in before Winter ended! I feel like I left it to the last couple of days of the season like I did for Autumn.
A lot of this novel went over my head but I did understand the pointed commentary towards Brexit, the juxtaposition of most of the characters highlighted the importance of having these conversations. Maybe if we had we would have been left with a different result of the vote which has (and will have) a devastating impact on so many lives. I particularly loved the four main characters and how their differences were brought to the forefront, their diversity in ideas at times gave a claustrophobic feeling. I found the back and forth in time disorientating at times, I feel like you need to let go and just drift along the story and then you'll be fine. I'm excited to continue this series even though I don't fully understand it!
