AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4s BOOK AT BEDTIME

A Sunday Times, Times, Irish Independent, Spectator and Good Housekeeping Book of the Year

WINNER OF THE THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTION'

Two sisters. Four nights. One City.

April, 1941. Belfast has escaped the worst of the war - so far. Following the lives of sisters Emma and Audrey - one engaged to be married, the other in a secret relationship with another woman - as they try to survive the horrors of the Belfast Blitz, These Days is an unforgettable novel about lives lived under duress, about family, and about how we try to stay true to ourselves.

Gripping and eloquent

A gripping and evocative story of Belfast during the WWII blitz. Compelling characters, eloquently told with superb narration. These characters will stay with me.
