There’s a Renaissance artist of the 1460s. There’s the child of a child of the 1960s. Two tales of love and injustice twist into a singular yarn where time gets timeless, structural gets playful, knowing gets mysterious, fictional gets real—and all life’s givens get given a second chance. Passionate, compassionate, vitally inventive and scrupulously playful, Ali Smith’s novels are like nothing else.","brand":"Smith, Ali","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ Adult Fiction","offer_id":48541005578464,"sku":null,"price":10.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_6fddf13d-5a0e-48c7-883e-fdddded8d78b.jpg?v=1768415977","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/how-to-be-bothbooks","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
