'There�s warmth and depth in Hunter�s well-wrought prose. The characters stay with you in the best way' - Sarah Moss, author of Summerwater From the author of The End We Start From, now a major film starring Jodie Comer, Days of Light is a sweeping, gorgeous story for fans of Mothering Sunday and The Hours. She marvels at the way a single day can unravel everything, like ribbon pulled from a present. Easter Sunday, 1938. Ivy is nineteen and ready for her life to finally begin. At Cressingdon, her sprawling, bohemian family and their friends gather for lunch and to await the arrival of a longed-for guest. Britain is on the cusp of war, but in the idyllic Sussex countryside anything feels possible. It is a single, enchanted afternoon that ends in tragedy and will change Ivy�s life forever. Chronicling six pivotal days across six decades, Days of Light moves through the Second World War and the twentieth century on a radiant journey through a life lived in pursuit of love and in search of an answer. Praise for The End We Start From: 'Utterly brilliant . . . it's perfect' - Nathan Filer 'Megan Hunter is a writer of unnerving power' - Evie Wyld 'Extraordinary' - Financial Times 'Engrossing, compelling and hopeful' - Naomi Alderman
