This pod with #MeganHunter was such fun to record. Her novel DAYS OF LIGHT is a masterpiece of controlled, almost musical storytelling. Megan paints on large canvases with light brushstrokes, on the page as well as in conversation. Have a listen.

Image of the book Days of Light by Megan Hunter NO SPOILERS: Days of Light is a beautiful, beautiful book, written with true literary skill. Rythmic sentences punctuated to perfection. We follow Ivy, over six days spanning 1939 – 1999, a time of much change in the world, but here we focus on the change in Ivy, with the one constant, recurring theme being light. Light in everything. Sun, God, mystic, love, inner, peace, shadows, luminosity, art. And it is so beautifully, gently and carefully written. Through Ivy, Hunter’s writing details all the senses, evoking so many emotions. There are intricate observations and sweeping generalisations finding joy in all things. I could feel the damp grass and smell the air. Whilst Ivy is the protagonist, life happening all around is the main character. Expect a skilled, crafted depiction of light in all its forms in a steady plot within a thoughtful, inspiring story. Truly stunning. This should win prizes.
