«Day» is the war novel by A.L. Kennedy, published by Jonathan Cape in hardcover (288 pages, in English).
Alfred Day, a former Lancaster gunner in the Second World War, works as an extra in a movie about prisoners of war. The shoot stirs his memory: childhood in Staffordshire, his father's violence, and the orderly life he found in the RAF. In 1949, Alfred reconstructs his war and finally dares to remember.
It won the Costa Book Award and the Costa Book of the Year in 2007, and the Saltire Society Literary Award (Scottish Book of the Year).
For readers of historical and war fiction, especially those seeking novels set in the Second World War or for book clubs.
