{"product_id":"book-cmor","title":"Autumn","description":"The first novel in Ali Smith’s Seasonal Quartet is an unforgettable story about aging and time and love—and stories themselves. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAutumn. Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. Two old friends—Daniel, a centenarian, and Elisabeth, born in 1984—look to both the future and the past as the United Kingdom stands divided by a historic, once-in-a-generation summer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLove is won, love is lost. Hope is hand-in-hand with hopelessness. The seasons roll round, as ever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA luminous meditation on the meaning of richness and harvest and worth, Autumn is the first installment of Ali Smith’s Seasonal Quartet, and it casts an eye over our own time: Who are we? What are we made of? Shakespearean jeu d’esprit, Keatsian melancholy, the sheer bright energy of 1960s pop art. \u003cbr\u003eAutumn is wide-ranging in time-scale and light-footed through histories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Beautiful, subtle. … Brimming with humanity and bending, despite everything, toward hope.”—New York Times Book Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMAN BOOKER PRIZE FINALIST • A Washington Post Notable Book • One of the Best Books of the Year: NPR, The New York Times, Martha Kearney\/The Guardian, Slate, Chicago Tribune, Southern Living, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, The Morning News, Kirkus Reviews • Long-listed for the Gordon Burn Prize","brand":"Recorded Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49383384613168,"sku":"BDcmor","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/654465-cmor-Square.jpg?v=1735073121","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cmor","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
