Summer

Smith finished up her Seasonal quartet, writing as close as she could get to real time, just like she did with the other three books in the cycle. The story happens during the early months of the Covid pandemic, with characters that appeared in the first book (Autumn). It's all handled with her characteristic warmth, quirkiness, and brilliant use of the English language.

In the midst of reading I started to recognize characters from the previous books, but it’s been a few years, so the memories are faint. I hate rereading books, but maybe I will end up going back to Autumn and starting again. Wouldn’t be the worst thing that ever happened
