Review
"An imaginative tour de force that succeeds on every level, from its sparkling language to its narrative ingenuity to its devastating portrayal of wartime Europe." --San Diego Union-Tribune"Kennedy faultlessly captures the brusque camaraderie of the bomber crew, men from vastly different backgrounds knitted together by a love so profound it can never be put in words." --The Washington Post"[Kennedy] follows the examples of several of her contemporaries, including William Boyd and Sebastian Faulks, in writing about World War II, and in doing so makes that fertile territory very much her own. . . . Brilliant." --The Boston Globe "Remarkable. . . . Day is a novel of extraordinary complexity." --The New York Review of Books
From the Publisher
