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 'Brilliantly evokes wartime love and heartbreak.'

Rezensionen

This fine novel by one of Northern Ireland's most accomplished contemporary writers ... brilliantly evokes wartime love and heartbreak.

A novel of enormous heart; full of luminous passages of prose, this tale of the Belfast blitz is breathtakingly good.

A highly accomplished novel that will surely become the defining work of fiction about the Belfast Blitz... sensationally good ... It's the kind of writing you want to inhale and feel coursing through your bloodstream.

So well drawn . brilliantly described . a remarkably, unusually vivid piece of storytelling.
