One Day

So, it's almost midnight, we're packed and ready to go and more importantly I've got my holiday read: One Day by David Nicholls

I've read two great books recently and I really hope this one lives up to them, but with a review like:

"A totally brilliant book about the heartbreaking gap between the way we were and the way we are... The best weird live story since The Time Traveler's Wife. Every reader will fall in love with it. And every writer will wish they had written it" Tony Parsons

it can't really fail to please.

'What are days for?
Days are where we live.
They come, they wake us
Time and time over.
They are to be happy in:
Where can we live but days?

Ah, solving that question
Brings the priest and the doctor
In their long coats
Running over the fields.'

Philip Larkin, 'Days'
