Winter (Seasonal #2)

Sadly I didn't really enjoy this book as much as I have with previous Ali Smith books. I'm not sure if I'm finding her writing style is losing its luster for me or if this was just not a story for me. I found myself at quite a distance from the characters, and because this is so dialogue heavy and reliant on this 3rd person telling you what is happening, it doesn't leave much for the reader to figure out. There are lots of layers here about art and politics and relationships, as in most Smith novels, so there's plenty to unpack thematically. But narratively it's pretty straight forward and not very plot heavy.
My friend Jen did a wonderful review of this book that I think I actually enjoyed more watching than reading the book. You should definitely check it out here:

"I love Ali Smith’s writing but reading her books can be kind of a chore. They’re all over the place and it takes a while for my mind to click with the story and absorb what is happening."
