About the Author
Reviews
I love Ali Smith's writing, and I've been keeping Autumn for an end-of-book holiday treat
In a country apparently divided against itself, a writer such as Smith is more valuable than a whole parliament of politicians
Bold and brilliant, dealing with the body blow of Brexit to offer us something rare: hope
Humour, grace, solace...A light-footed meditation on mortality, mutability and how to keep your head in troubled times
Transcendental writing about art, death and all the dimensions of love. It's not so much 'reading between the lines' as being blinded by the light between the lines - in a good way
The novel of the year is obviously Ali Smith's Autumn, which managed the miracle of making at least a kind of sense out of post-Brexit Britain
Autumn is a beautiful, poignant symphony of memories, dreams and transient realities
Experimental, thematically complex, associative, time-juggling, powered by a crazed and energetic curiosity
Pure literary magic
Puckish, yet elegant; angry, but comforting. Long may she Remain that way
