Companion Piece
A Novel

From the Man Booker Prize shortlisted-author of the brilliant Seasonal Quartet series--a major new novel that promises to capture the present moment with Ali Smith's genius and bold spirit. Autumn. Winter. Spring. Summer. What comes next when the world continues to change? With an eye for rendering the timely in a timeless way and enchanting readers with lyrical prose and grace, Ali Smith's ambitious Seasonal Quartet--a series of four stand-alone novels, separate but interconnected--artfully guided us through #MeToo, Brexit, the refugee crisis, a global pandemic, and more. Now, Smith's highly anticipated Companion Piece looks to the future and builds upon this "time-sensitive project." This new novel stands apart from the Quartet, which remains discrete unto itself. But like her groundbreaking series, it promises to capture the spirit of the times and offer a hopeful glimpse of the future. As always, Ali Smith will delight and surprise us.
