The new novel by one of the most outstanding authors of the last decades. Ali Smith dazzles us with Fragua, a book that closes the famous seasonal Quartet. One day, in post-Brexit Britain and in the midst of the pandemic, artist Sandy Gray receives an unexpected phone call from a college acquaintance, Martina Pelf. Martina is calling Sandy for help with a mysterious question she's been asked after spending half a day locked in a room by border control officers for no reason she can understand... Jumping back in time, Fragua features the story of a blacksmith who made beautiful pieces centuries ago and who was persecuted and marked. A story of restrictions and a fight for freedom that is intertwined with the story of Sandy thanks to an exceptional lock created by the blacksmith and which comes into the hands of Martina Pelf. A hopeful novel, which can be read as a coda to the famous Seasonal Quartet, in which Ali Smith brings us again an intelligent and moving novel, thoughtful and playful.
