The Ali Smith seasons series is one of the greatest book series I have ever read
I have yet to get Summer because I can't stand that this series is coming to an ending, I have so loved Autumn, Winter, Spring.....Spring is a very interesting take on the refugee crisis/immigration in the usual Ali Smith way. Lovely characters, lovely insight into this modern world. I really can't say enough about what a delight these books have been to read. Ali Smith is a very gifted author, I've read a couple of her other works and am just so grateful I found her through these seasons books.

Ali Smith is a genius!
"Winter has Epiphany. Spring's gifts are different.Month of dead deities coming back to life.In the french revolutionary calendar, along with the last days of March, it becomes Germinal, the month of return to the source, to the seed, to the germ of things, which is maybe why Zola gave the novel he wrote about hopeless hope this revolutionary title.April the anarchic, the final month, of spring the great connective.Pass any flowering bush or tree and you can't not hear it, the buzz of the engine, the new life already at work in it, time's factory.".Another great book by Ali Smith.Another book that's very hard to review!Spring is the third book in the seasonal quartet. The writing often reminds me of an old slide projector, with each photographic slide having a unique memory, but still interconnected with each other. Ali Smith directs us towards the future by talking about Now, and by remembering past. We often get a flavour of "history repeats itself," leading to the important question, what are we going to do about it?The characters never over power the story. They act as catalysts nudging us towards the bigger picture. After reading her books, I always feel like something has shifted inside me, that I am not the same person as I was before.Probably, a change of season!.I really can't explain the book to you, but I want you to experience it for yourself. You don't need to read Autumn or Winter before Spring, but they do help to get acquainted with her style of writing. However, I found Spring to be quite easier than the previous two!

Spring by Ali Smith
So excited to finally own this series! This book took forever in the mail, and it was obviously not brand new.
