Autumn

Autumn

From the Sunday Times Bestselling Author (Seasons Quartet 1)

Summary

The Sunday Times bestseller from literary phenomenon Karl Ove Knausgaard, a love letter about the world written by a father to his unborn daughter.

'Inspiring, surprising... Autumn will warm and enlighten anyone who opens their eyes to it' The Times

Autumn begins with a letter Karl Ove Knausgaard writes to his unborn daughter. He adds one short piece each day, describing the material and natural world - from twilight to the migration of birds, from Van Gogh to forgiveness - with the precision and mesmerising intensity that have become his trademark.
