| book description |

‘Think One Day written by (and starring) Virginia Woolf . . . Lyrical and captivating’ -The Observer ‘Radiant, absorbing, sensual’ - Joanna Quinn, author of The Whalebone Theatre ‘Beautiful’ - Sophie Elmhirst, author of Maurice and Maralyn From Megan Hunter, author of The End We Start From - now a major film starring Jodie Comer - and taking inspiration from the influential Bloomsbury Group, Days of Light is a sweeping, gorgeous story for fans of Mothering Sunday and The Hours. Easter Sunday, 1938. Ivy is nineteen and ready for her life to finally begin. In the idyllic Sussex countryside, her sprawling, bohemian family and their friends gather for lunch, awaiting the arrival of a longed-for guest. It is a single, enchanted afternoon that ends in tragedy. Days later, at a funeral, Ivy is kissed by the man she will marry, and grieves with the woman who will become the love of her life. And this is only the beginning . . . Chronicling six pivotal days across six decades, Days of Light moves through the Second World War and the twentieth century on a radiant journey through a life lived in pursuit of love and in search of an answer. ‘Wonderful, luminous’ - Mark Haddon, author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time ‘The characters stay with you in the best way’ - Sarah Moss, author of Summerwater ‘Sublime. Wielding tremendous emotional power, it is a novel that is both raw and reverent’ - Hannah Kent, author of Burial Rites
