In the second part of her seasonal quartet, Ali Smith chooses a fraught family Christmas in Cornwall to explore her recurrent themes of loss, estrangement, the fictionalization of reality, and the nature of art and representation. Overshadowed by the latest Brexit debates, Winter also offers an insightful examination of our contradictory nature and the possibility of true human connection in a world, as one of the characters points out, "subsumed in chaos, lies, powermongering, division and a great deal of poisoning and self-poisoning".
