{"product_id":"autumn-ali-smith","title":"Autumn - Ali Smith","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAutumn. Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. That's what it felt like for Keats in 1819. How about Autumn 2016? Daniel is a century old. Elisabeth, born in 1984, has her eye on the future. The United Kingdom is in pieces, divided by a historic once-in-a-generation summer. Love is won, love is lost. Hope is hand in hand with hopelessness. The seasons roll round, as ever. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAli Smith's new novel is a meditation on a world growing ever more bordered and exclusive, on what richness and worth are, on what harvest means. This first in a seasonal quartet casts an eye over our own time. Who are we? What are we made of? Shakespearian jeu d'esprit, Keatsian melancholy, the sheer bright energy of 1960s Pop art: the centuries cast their eyes over our own history-making. Here's where we're living. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere's time at its most contemporaneous and its most cyclic. From the imagination of the peerless Ali Smith comes a shape-shifting series, wide-ranging in timescale and light-footed through histories, and a story about ageing and time and love and stories themselves. Here comes Autumn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paper People Books and Games - Pateley Bridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55010410856785,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/9346\/2097\/files\/IMG-6082.jpg?v=1789809626","url":"https:\/\/paper-people.co.uk\/products\/autumn-ali-smith","provider":"Paper People Books and Games - Pateley Bridge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
