About the Ali Smith - Spring

Description

Spring follows a string of characters and explores themes like immigration and human nature in general, as well as the aftermath of the EU referendum and growing tensions in the UK.

The novel has two central narratives, the first is the story of Richard, an older man who is dealing with the loss of someone close to him. He boards a train to Scotland, with no particular destination in mind, to try and escape or solve his emotional turmoil. The second narrative is that of Brittany, or Brit as she is named in the book. Brit works at a detention centre for migrants where she unexpectedly meets a young girl named Florence. Like Richard, Brit and Florence also happen to board a train up north to Scotland. All of the characters in the novel eventually meet at Kingussie station.

Published by Penguin, 2020. Paperback.  

The book is in very good condition showing signs of previous ownership. Expected blemishes to include:- light finger marks to some pages; slightly bumped corners / spine; pages dusty or lightly browned; writing to endpapers or dust jacket flaps; dust jacket might be price-clipped, lightly chipped or have a few small tears.

This is a pre-owned, donated book.
