Book Review
«Autumn» by Ali Smith is the first novel in her quartet dedicated to the seasons. Critics note that the book masterfully blends the personal and the political, exploring themes of time, memory, and identity. Smith uses poetic language and nonlinear storytelling to convey the atmosphere of post-Brexit Britain. Special attention is given to the relationship between the main characters—elderly Daniel and young Elisabeth, whose friendship becomes the central theme of the novel. Critics praise Smith for her ability to create multilayered and emotionally rich stories that provoke thought about the modern world and human connections.
