They don't. End of. Story, however. It is haunting. Everything tells it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt all starts when Petra and her little sister Patch hear a horrifying story from the past and find themselves making up a ghost. Is it imaginary? Is it real?Then it all starts again thirty years later when Petra, now estranged from Patch, finds a phantom horse kicking the furniture to pieces in her bedroom. What to do? She phones her sister.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a chiaroscuro dance through our increasingly antagonistic era, Glyph asks if we’re attending to the history that’s made us and to the history we’re making. A funny, warm and clear-eyed take on where we are now, Glyph is about what our imaginations are for and how, in a broken, brutal and divided time, we rekindle care, solidarity, resistance and openness. This anti-war novel, Ali Smith’s most soulful, playful and vital yet, is a work of lightness that goes deep to counter the forces currently flattening the modern world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA standalone novel, it’s family to Gliff (2024).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaperback \u003cbr\u003ePublication: 21 Jan 2027, Penguin\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781405959476\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 240 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57758808146302,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/9781405959476.jpg?v=1785238397","url":"https:\/\/www.davids-bookshops.co.uk\/products\/glyph-by-ali-smith","provider":"David's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
