READERS ARE LOVING TWELVE DAYS IN MAY:
If you want a fun, romantic book to sweep you off your feet this summer: look no further
Such a lovely debut novel about finding a spark again . . . warm and full of joy
I finished this book in one sitting. I would definitely recommend
The writing is outstanding and the plot extremely original
This has all of the makings of a great story: romance, a twisted past, Cannes festival, and the dreamy taste of Tunnocks
A fun, smart romcom about second chances The Sun
Hargans novel is about our inaccuracies of perception, as well as being a behind-the-scenes look at the Cannes Film Festival. Its a smart, wry, engaging debut Sunday Independent
A gloriously gossipy read, written with intelligence and style Irish Examiner
Picture-perfect romance . . . Fizzes with fun Best
Niamh Hargan was born and raised in Derry, Northern Ireland. An entertainment lawyer by profession, she first attended the Cannes Film Festival several years ago and found the experience to be both exactly like, and nothing at all like, what she had expected. When it became impossible to travel to Cannes in May 2020, she began to write about it instead.
