ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Autumn by Ali Smith weaves a poignant narrative around the enduring connection between Elisabeth Demand and her elderly friend and former neighbor, Daniel Gluck. As Daniel lies in an extended sleep in a care home, Elisabeth visits him, their encounters echoing back to formative moments in her childhood and their shared explorations of art, stories, and the world. The novel subtly explores themes of memory, time, and the shifting landscape of contemporary Britain, touching on political and social anxieties through the lens of their personal relationship. It's a story about intergenerational friendship and the power of stories to connect and sustain us, even as life undergoes inevitable changes.
