Tills Bookshop’s new year-round reading group, exploring Ali Smith’s Seasonal Quartet, begins this October in Portobello, Edinburgh. Hosted by our booksellers, this series will delve into each of Smith’s evocative seasonal novels, starting with Autumn in October 2024, followed by Winter (January 2025), Spring (April 2025), Summer (July 2025), and concluding with Companion Piece (October 2025).
Ali Smith’s Seasonal Quartet was a unique publishing experiment, with each novel written and released in real-time, capturing timely reflections on art, life, and contemporary Britain. Join us as we live and read through every season accompanied by Ali Smith’s beautiful writing on the world we live in today, full of brilliant word play and insightful reflections on life and nature as they move and change through time and seasons.
Our second group, reading Winter, will take place on the 31st January 2024, at our Tills & Co. shop in Portobello, Edinburgh.
