Borrowing from painting's fresco technique to make an original literary double-take, it's a fast-moving genre-bending conversation between forms, times, truths and fictions. There's a renaissance artist of the 1460s. There's the child of a child of the 1960s. Two tales of love and injustice twist into a singular yarn where time gets timeless, structural gets playful, knowing gets mysterious, fictional gets real - and all life's givens get given a second chance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Smith can make anything happen, which is why she is one of our most exciting writers today' \u003ci\u003eDaily Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'She's a genius, genuinely modern in the heroic, glorious sense' Alain de Botton\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'I take my hat off to Ali Smith.
