The Longest Day by Lisa Williams

All life is here…

The 21st of June 2019. The longest day. Longhope House, Leicester…

Eternity in an hour, the world in a grain of sand, yet these aren’t the songs of innocence. Birth, death, celebration, recrimination, condemnation, elation, realisation, ignorance, departure, arrival, love, hate, kindness, indifference; Lisa Williams’ debut novella harnesses the warp and weft of tiny tower block-set stories to forge an astute and moving tapestry. What will this hot summer’s day have in store for each and every one of the residents? Time runs in streaks. Time is running out.

“Williams’ prose performs its own panopticon, beautifully unvarnished, as she casts an expert eye on the all-too-frequently forgotten lives at the edge of 21st century Britain. A miniature epic…”
