examining how their own biographies might be written, for
who amongst us has nothing to hide?
‘A clear light on the ruthless habits of biography. Marvellous.’

Days Like These
There are certain friends with whom you
don’t have to pretend
Lou, a freelance journalist, leaves New York after the breakup
of a long relationship. Taking refuge in Mim’s North London
house, the nerve-centre for a group of old university friends, she
becomes drawn into an escalating series of personal dramas.
Days Like These is about women behaving badly. It is about love
and loyalty, deceit and disaster, and the onset of moral choices.
In a world where you can touch most things, what – and who –
is untouchable?
Told with wit, humour and sophistication, Days Like These tests
the bonds between friends.
‘A tremendous first novel possessing real charm, a kind of
freshness and guilelessness that is very potent – and a toughness
and reality that I genuinely applaud.’
William Boyd
