Day
by Michael Cunningham
In this deceptively simple and absolutely beautiful novel, a family navigates life as families do: moving backwards and forwards. growing together and apart, learning about love and compassion, hope and grief, success and failure. The brilliance of Day is in the telling, told in three parts on the same date over the course of three successive years. While we only spend a short time with this family, we feel like we’ve known them forever. Sensitively written without an extra word, Day is a subtle, poignant exploration of family, friendship and the complex ways that we exist together. – Diana
