'These days' by Lucy Caldwell follows the lives of Emma and Audrey Bell during the second World War in Belfast.
Audrey is the oldest sister and is engaged to be married to Richard but she is starting to have doubts, and Emma is a volunteer at a first aid post who is attracted to one of the other female volunteers which would come as a shock in those days.

The novel takes place over four days in April 1941. It is set in three sections, The Dockside Raid, The Easter Raid, and The Fire Raids following the family and their experiences and horrors they faced during the Belfast Blitz.

I have never read anything by Lucy Caldwell before and I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the writing style and it moved me. It was well researched, emotional and thought-provoking. Highly recommended.

Thank you to Readers First and the publishers for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
