“What a visceral, powerful, authentic novel! It’s hard to believe Lucy Caldwell didn’t actually live through the Belfast Blitz, it’s so accurately depicted. I felt I was there with the bombs, the blood, the chaos, the fear, and the resilience.”
— Tracy Chevalier, New York Times bestselling author of Girl With A Pearl Earring
“Adroit, precise storytelling, atmospheric and satisfying; These Days is a novel of real substance.”
— Hilary Mantel, Booker Prize-winning author of Wolf Hall
“exquisitely lyrical”
