Luminous, generous, hope-filled... The third book in Ali Smith's
seasonal quartet is her best yet, a dazzling hymn to hope, uniting
the past and present with a chorus of voices... [Ali Smith] is
lighting us a path out of the nightmarish now
*Observer*
Is there a writer so critically acclaimed and universally beloved?
...Autumn, Winter and Spring are stories of the unlikely
connections human beings can make and the cost exacted when those
connections are broken. They are state of the nation novels which
understand that the nation is you, is me, is all of us: the nation
is our choices, our fears, our losses... [Ali Smith] is the
national novelist we need in 2019
*New Statesman*
An astonishing accomplishment and a book for all seasons
*Independent*
Smith is a masterful storyteller... Spring is political but Smith
is more concerned with the human fallout of current affairs then
the machinations of elites... Through her account of unlikely
friendships, Smith brings human values to the fore. Savour it,
because there is just one instalment left
*Evening Standard*
Spring weaves a story around the most pressing issues of our
time... [A] bubbling, babbling brook of a book...Smith tells
stories in a voice you can't help but listen to
*The Times*
A powerful vision of lost souls in a divided Britain... As Smith's
Seasonal Quartet moves towards completion her own role in British
fiction looks ever more vital. The final page proclaims spring 'the
great connective'. It's not a bad description of Smith herself
*Guardian*
Beguiling... The eagerly awaited third instalment
*Financial Times*
Infectious in its energy and warmth
*Daily Telegraph*
Just when things were starting to look really bad, along comes the
third instalment in Ali Smith's seasonal quartet to lift us out of
the gloom... An extraordinary embodiment of the ways in which
storytelling connects us... The work of Katherine Mansfield and
Rilke, Greek myths and the propulsive lyricism of spring itself,
thread together in narratives of loss and rejuvenation
*Daily Mail*
The third of her exceptional Seasonal quartet, which riffs back and
forth with Autumn and Winter to expound on the importance of hope
to move us beyond the darkest of times
