ADVANCE PRAISE FOR BELFAST DAYS

‘The author’s honest, humane voice throughout reaches a climax in a passionate, clear-eyed epilogue ... Buy it for yourself but, above all, ensure your teenagers read it to appreciate the peace and opportunities they have now which were denied to that earlier generation.’

Anne Cadwallader, author of Lethal Allies

‘Funny, touching, vivid and real.’

Robin Livingstone, Editor, Andersonstown News

‘Vivid and disturbing – the terror of war invades the everyday life of a sensitive girl.’

Susan McKay, Derry-born journalist and author of books including Bear in Mind These Dead and Northern Protestants: An Unsettled People

‘A time machine to the turmoil, trouble and terror of ‘70s Belfast, Belfast Days is a remarkable memoir, bringing heartache and healing in equal measure. A passage into a wretched world of warfare through the unblinking eyes of a teenager whose steady gaze surely shames us into ensuring this path is not walked again.’ Máirtín Ó Muilleoir, Former Lord Mayor of Belfast

‘Belfast Days will be a book you’ll want to save for your children and grandchildren to read. Although they might not be growing up in the terror of war and conflict, Eimear’s diary will inspire them to use their own unique talents and gifts to bring about a more peaceful world. An object lesson in tolerance and resilience, we can all learn from this book, no matter what our age.’

Laurel Holliday, author of the Children in Conflict series
