Description
A new novel from Ali Smith is always a reason to celebrate. Nobody captures the times we are living in so boldly and beautifully as she does.
Companion Piece follows the unique achievement of her Seasonal cycle of novels – Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer – which were written and published in as close as possible to real time, between 2016 and 2020, absorbing and reflecting on the times we are living through. It stands apart, but remains a spellbinding achievement, a potent celebration of companionship in all its forms. Let Ali Smith guide you through these extraordinary times in her sparkling, vital prose.
We are delighted to welcome back Alex Preston, journalist and award-winning author of the riveting historical historical novel, Winchelsea, to talk to Ali Smith.
