Companion piece

byAli Smith, Natalie Simpson (Read by)

The new novel from the Booker-shortlisted author of How to be both

The unmissable new work from Ali Smith, following the dazzling Man Booker-shortlisted Seasonal quartet


'A story is never an answer. A story is always a question.'


Here we are in extraordinary times.
Is this history?

What happens when we cease to trust governments, the media, each other?
What have we lost?
What stays with us?
What does it take to unlock our future?

Following her astonishing quartet of Seasonal novels, Ali Smith again lights a way for us through the nightmarish now, in a vital celebration of companionship in all its forms.

'Every hello, like every voice, holds its story ready, waiting.'

'Ali Smith is lighting us a path out of the nightmarish now' Observer

Superb, radical, remarkable

Mohsin Hamid, New York Times
