The Seasonal Quartet is Ali Smith's masterfully crafted narrative collection that delves into the complexities of love, art, politics, and the human condition through the seasons' changing lenses. In 'Autumn,' a century's worth of life is lived by Daniel, while young Elisabeth sets her sights on the future amidst a divided UK in turmoil. As events unfold, 'Winter' further explores themes of visibility and self-discovery through the eyes of Sophia Cleves and her son, Art, revealing history, memory, and love in crystalline clarity. This transformative series captures the essence of each season's impact on life and storytelling.
