‘Autumn’ (2016), by Ali Smith
Daniel is a century old. Elisabeth, born in 1984, has her eye on the future. The UK is in pieces, divided by a historic once-in-a-generation summer….yes, Brexit.
Love is won, love is lost. Hope is hand-in-hand with hopelessness. The seasons roll round, as ever….here, to Autumn, ‘season of mists and mellow fruitfulness’. But is all fullness and openness….?
Sandra and Andrew introduce Ali Smith’s novel, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2017.
