SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2017
SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER
'In a country apparently divided against itself, a writer such as Smith is more valuable than a whole parliament of politicians' Financial Times
'Undoubtedly Smith at her best. Puckish, yet elegant; angry, but comforting' The Times
'A beautiful, poignant symphony of memories, dreams and transient realities... The first post-Brexit novel' Guardian
A breathtakingly inventive new novel from the Man Booker-shortlisted and Baileys Prize-winning author of How to be both
Daniel is a century old. Elisabeth, born in 1984, has her eye on the future. The United Kingdom is in pieces, divided by a historic once-in-a-generation summer.
Love is won, love is lost. Hope is hand in hand with hopelessness. The seasons roll round, as ever . . .
'Terrific, extraordinary, playful... There is an awful lot to lift the soul' Daily Mail
'Bold and brilliant' Observer

Reviews

I love Ali Smith's writing, and I've been keeping Autumn for an end-of-book holiday treat
Val McDermid, 'The Observer'
-
In a country apparently divided against itself, a writer such as Smith is more valuable than a whole parliament of politicians
Financial Times
-
Bold and brilliant, dealing with the body blow of Brexit to offer us something rare: hope
Jackie Kay
-
Humour, grace, solace...A light-footed meditation on mortality, mutability and how to keep your head in troubled times
The Guardian
-
Transcendental writing about art, death and all the dimensions of love. It's not so much 'reading between the lines' as being blinded by the light between the lines - in a good way
Deborah Levy
-
The novel of the year is obviously Ali Smith's Autumn, which managed the miracle of making at least a kind of sense out of post-Brexit Britain
The Observer
-
Autumn is a beautiful, poignant symphony of memories, dreams and transient realities
The Guardian
-
Experimental, thematically complex, associative, time-juggling, powered by a crazed and energetic curiosity
Sunday Times
-
Pure literary magic
Mail on Sunday
-
Puckish, yet elegant; angry, but comforting. Long may she Remain that way
The Times
