Following Autumn, the first of four novels named for the seasons and drawing on their moods, Smith takes an icy look at the era of Brexit and fake news, examining themes of history and memory and celebrating our will to survive. (She and Knausgaard are clearly in sync.) From the winner of Baileys and Costa Novel honors, thrice short-listed for the Man Booker Prize.
