Having challenged herself to write a series of contemporary novels aligned as closely as possible to current events, Smith's'Autumn' was quickly identified as one of the first consciously'Post-Brexit' novels in 2016. Each new book in the series continued to follow a developing concern in the National Consciousness with unnerving precision, and the last novel'Summer' inevitably emerged in mid 2020 as one of the first'Post-Covid' novels.Each book has been nominated for the Booker Prize, and the series as a whole is likely to become as a classic record and mirror of our times.
