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

Ali Smith's new novel is a meditation on a world growing ever more bordered and exclusive, on what richness and worth are, on what harvest means.
