书籍简介

★周日时报畅销书

★继令人眼花缭乱的“季节四部曲”之后，阿里-史密斯又一部不可错过的新作。

在英国脱欧后的某一天，艺术家桑迪-格雷（Sandy Gray）意外接到了大学熟人玛蒂娜-佩尔菲（Martina Pelf）的电话。玛蒂娜打电话给桑迪，请她帮忙解决一个神秘的问题，因为她被边境管制官员关在一个房间里半天，而她自己也不知道为什么会被关在这里：

宵禁还是宵禁？您自己选择。

这和五百多年前一位年轻而有才华的铁匠被赶出自己的行业和家园的故事有什么关系呢？

阿莉·史密斯的小说振翅高飞，在我们原子化的现在和中世纪的过去之间翱翔，希望我们能够向所有其他时代、其他物种、其他历史和其他可能性开放我们封闭的家园和自我。

“[一部]对我们所生活的世界的有趣而专业的描绘，由迷人、讨人喜欢的小说家所描绘”——《电讯报》。

“同伴的作品]让您重新审视这个世界。对我而言，它将寒冷而压抑的一天变成了光明的一天”——《新政治家》（New Statesman

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

The unmissable new work from Ali Smith, following the dazzling Man Booker-shortlisted Seasonal quartet

One day in post-Brexit, mid-pandemic Britain, artist Sandy Gray receives an unexpected phone call from university acquaintance Martina Pelf. Martina is calling Sandy to ask for help with a mysterious question she's been left with after she's spent half a day locked in a room by border control officials for no reason she can fathom:

'Curlew or curfew? You choose.'

And what's any of this got to do with the story of a young and talented blacksmith hounded from her trade and her home more than five hundred years ago?

Ali Smith's novel takes wing, soaring between our atomised present and our medieval past in the hope we can open our locked down homes and selves to all the other times, other species, other histories, other possibilities.

'[An] entertaining and expert portrayal of the world we live in, seen by the most beguiling and likeable of novelistic intelligences' Telegraph

'[Companion piece] makes you look at the world afresh. For me, it turned a cold and depressing day into a bright one' New Statesman
