From the Man Booker-short-listed and Baileys Women's Prize-winning author of How to be both, the highly anticipated second novel in the acclaimed Seasonal series, which both continues the arc of the
series and is also an extraordinary stand-alone read. In Winter, life force matches up to the toughest of the seasons. In this second novel in her acclaimed Seasonal cycle, the follow-up to Ali
Smith's sensational Autumn, Smith's shape-shifting quartet of novels casts a merry eye over a bleak post-truth era with a story rooted in history, memory, and warmth, its taproot deep in the
evergreens: art, love, laughter. It's the season that teaches us survival.

Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Winter pays frequent homage to A Christmas Carol…[Smith] spins a fine story…Winter is a stunning meditation on a complex, emotional moment in history."—Time
“Wordplay, grim humor, and the uncanny (including a disembodied head that never speaks) are all thrown into the mix, and Smith has an enormously expansive vision, processing news items and our broader cultural moment.” —New York Times Book Review
“The foursome’s interchanges and recollections are at once absurd and profound, and—thanks to narrator Melody Grove—as slowly but surely illuminating as the sun after the winter solstice…Grove’s challenge is to convey every nuance from the page to the ear. She does so admirably. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
“A sprightly, digressive, intriguing fandango on life and time.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Ali Smith is the author of many works of fiction, which won many awards, including the Women’s Prize for Fiction, the Goldsmiths Prize, and the Costa Novel of the Year Award. Her
