"Spring" er 3. bog i Ali Smiths kvartet af romaner, hvor hun skildrer vores omskiftende tid på poetisk og skarpsindig vis. I "Spring" følger vi to fortællerspor. Ét handler om den ældre instruktør Richard, som lige har mistet sin bedste ven, og falder i en dyb depression. I hans rådvildhed tager han til Skotland uden en specificeret destination. Det andet fortællerspor handler om Brittany, som arbejder med migranter, der søger lykken og et bedre liv nordpå. En dag møder hun den unge pige Florence, og sammen tager de spontant mod nord. Alle karakternes skæbner fletter sig ind og ud af hinanden, mens nutidens problemstillinger reflekteres undervejs. Med sine intelligente referencer til litteratur, kunst, politik og aktuelle begivenheder og strømninger i verden er en Ali Smith en dybsindig og skarp iagttager af livet i dag. Ali Smiths årstids-kvartet er skrevet så tæt på deres udgivelse som muligt, og dermed formår hun at inddrage nutidens aktuelle puls ind sin fortælling om livet i dag. Bøgerne kan læses uafhængigt af hinanden, men det anbefales at læse i sæsonenernes naturlige rækkefølge.

Spring is a deeply moving novel about family, our everyday lives, our joys and our struggles, beautifully illustrated by Anna Bjerger. I have just finished writing this book for you. What happened that summer nearly three years ago, and its repercussions, are long since over. Sometimes it hurts to live, but there is always something to live for. Spring follows a father and his newborn daughter through one day in April, from sunrise to sunset. It is a day filled with the small joys of family life, but also its deep struggles. With this striking novel in the Seasons quartet, Karl Ove Knausgaard reflects uncompromisingly on life's darkest moments and what can sustain us through them. Utterly gripping and brilliantly rendered in Knausgaard's famously pensive and honest style, Spring is the account of a shocking and heartbreaking familial trauma and the emotional epicentre of this singular literary series.
