Autumn: A Novel

"Shortlisted for this year’s Man Booker Prize, Ali Smith’s beguiling, beautifully written novel is about a dying centenarian and a young woman who used to be his neighbor. It’s an elusive, kind-of love story – just not in the way most people are used to. It’s also a post-Brexit novel, with that summer’s events performing as both the background hum and the power that propels the narrative forward."
