Herbst

England has had a historic summer behind it, the nation is divided, and fear is spreading. This autumn, Daniel is a century old. Elisabeth, in her early thirties, knows him from her childhood; the neighbor introduced her to art when she was a child. Now she visits him in the nursing home, reads books to him, and wonders what the future may hold. The first novel from Ali Smith's Seasonal Quartet tells of a world that is becoming increasingly isolated and exclusive. And it speaks of aging, of time, and of love. Of us.
