Winter? Bleak. Frosty wind, earth as iron, water as stone, so the old song goes. The shortest days, the longest nights. The trees are bare and shivering. The summer’s leaves? Dead litter.
The world shrinks; the sap sinks.
But winter makes things visible. And if there’s ice, there’ll be fire.

3.5
“I’m getting more comfortable with Smith’s unusual style and starting to enjoy it more and more. I didn’t feel Winter hit as much as Autumn for me, emotionally. But I enjoyed all the characters and how vivid Smith makes them. It feels like never a word is wasted.”
