Day by A. L. Kennedy
"Day" is a powerful novel about a World War II veteran who returns to the scene of his former imprisonment as an extra on a film set. The protagonist is haunted by his experiences as a tail gunner and a prisoner of war, and the narrative alternates between his time in the stalag and his present day experiences on the set. As he grapples with his past, he also seeks to reconnect with a woman he once loved, adding a poignant layer to his journey of self-discovery and healing.
