Bright Day
Bright Day is a novel by J. B. Priestley, first published in 1946. One of his better-known works, it combines nostalgia for the northern England that existed before the First World War with an optimism inspired by the conclusion of the Second. In 1946, an English screenwriter, Gregory Dawson, goes to a seaside hotel in Cornwall in order to finish a screenplay. An accidental meeting with two people from his distant past prompts him to explore his memories of his youth in Bruddersford (a fictional town conflating Bradford and Huddersfield) between October 1912 and June 1914.
