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
'Breathtakingly good . A novel of enormous heart; full of luminous passages of prose.' Observer
'Meticulously researched, perfectly imagined, full of compassion and emotional truth.' CLARE CHAMBERS

Born in Belfast in 1981, Lucy Caldwell is the author of four novels, several stage plays and radio dramas, and two previous collections of short stories. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2018, she was also the editor of Being Various: New Irish Short Stories in 2019, and she was recently awarded the E. M. Forster Award by the American Academy of Arts and Letters as well as the Walter Scott Prize.
