“There is no doubting that Ali Smith is a superb writer. I’d read whatever she writes.
Her latest is a book full of characters but not much joined up plot.
A middle class dinner party in Greenwich with a variety of obnoxious people, Miles a guest who no one really knows, disappears after the main course only to lock himself into the hosts spare room…for months.
My advise is to go with the flow, enjoy the writing and don’t get too deep.
Literary Marmite.
