A magnificent novel about war by one of the finest living British writers
A. L. Kennedy has twice been selected as one of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists and has won a host of other awards - including the Costa Book of the Year for her novel Day. She lives in Essex.
Kennedy is described in the literary press as not only one of our
finest, but also one of our most humane, writers
*Church Times*
Day confirms, if confirmation were needed, that Kennedy is a
singular, superlative author. I hope that the judges of this year's
Man Booker prize pay particular attention to it
*Scotland on Sunday*
Kennedy does bleak the way the Russians do epic; unremittingly,
awesomely and undershot with redeeming humour
*Sunday Times*
Once again, Kennedy brilliantly interweaves over-wrought internal
dialogue with external outrageous acts. The unfolding tenderness of
nature and of amity blend superbly with the casualness of daily
horror
*Independent on Sunday*
Day is more than a novel, it is an investigations into the
difficulties of being alive
*Irish Times*
