Feb 16,2020 3:03 am

Belfast writer Lucy Caldwell has won the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction for her novel These Days .

She was announced as The Winner at the Borders Book Festival which is taking place in Melrose.

She took the £25,000 top prize for Her Story of The Aerial bombardment of her home city during World War II.

The judges of the award praised her winning work for its " pitch-perfect, engrossing narrative ringing with emotional truth".

Founded in 2009, the Walter Scott Prize has become one of Britain's most important literary awards with previous winners including Sebastian Barry , Robert Harris , Andrea Levy and Hilary Mantel .

The judges said Ms Caldwell's novel was a " A Story of both great violence and great tenderness".

She immersed herself in eyewitness accounts while she was writing The Book , interviewing survivors, including a 103-year-old.

" These Days felt so alive to me as I was writing it, so urgent - it didn't feel like 'history' at all, it didn't even feel like it had happened, it felt like it was happening as I wrote it, " She Said .

The Other shortlisted novels for the award were The Geometer Lobachevsky by Adrian Duncan, Act of Oblivion by Robert Harris , The Chosen by Elizabeth Lowry , The Sun Walks Down by Fiona McFarlane, Ancestry by Simon Mawer and I Am Not Your Eve by Devika Ponnambalam.
