Shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction (2025).

The Book of Days was longlisted for the 2025 Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction and longlisted in the 2024 HWA Crown Awards. In a manor house in England a young woman feels the walls are closing around her, while her dying husband is obsessed by his vision of a chapel where prayers will be said for his immortal soul. As the days go by and the chapel takes shape, the outside world starts to intrude. But as the old ways are replaced by the new, the people of the village sense a dangerous freedom.
