Quay Books
Bright Day is the story of Gregory Dawson, a disillusioned, middle-aged scriptwriter who goes to a seaside hotel in Cornwall in 1946 to finish a screenplay.
A chance encounter prompts him to explore memories of his youth before the First World War.
The narrative shifts to 1912 as Dawson relives his time within the magic circle of the Alington family, days spent on the moors, his work in a wool office and his first tentative steps towards becoming an author.
Recollections of the past lead him towards an entirely new conception of the future and Dawson begins to see the world with renewed energy and zest.
