These Days by Lucy Caldwell
Set in Belfast during the 1941 Blitz, this story follows two sisters and their family across four devastating nights as bombs transform their city and their lives. One tentatively embraces first love while the other grapples with duty, ambition, and desire, each confronting rigid social expectations and class divides. Moving between streets, shelters, and hospitals, it weaves the terror and disorder of air raids with the fragile intimacies of daily life, revealing resilience, moral complexity, and the bonds that sustain people when everything seems to be falling apart.
