Two sisters, four nights, one city. April, 1941. Belfast has escaped the worst of the war - so far. Over the next two months, it' s going to be destroyed from above, so that people will say, in horror, My God, Belfast is finished. Many won' t make it through, and no one who does will remain unchanged. 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 four nights of bombing which were the Belfast Blitz, These Days is a timeless and heart-breaking novel about living under duress, about family, and about how we try to stay true to ourselves.
