‘An uplifting story of hope and solidarity, as well as a vivid, fascinating snapshot of a recent (almost unbelievably recent!) moment in Swiss history. I devoured it in one sitting.’ – Jonathan Coe

‘O’Dea’s storytelling is delicate, tender and insightful. The lives of four Swiss women in the 1950s are opened up to us with care and beauty. A work of fine historical fiction not to be missed.’ – Anne Griffin, author of When All is Said

‘Through deft storytelling skill and narrative imagination, Clare O’Dea’s novella shows how a particular moment in history was experienced through the eyes of real women. Subtly and ingeniously, Voting Day points to the many small and big ways in which womens’ struggle for equality still prevails.’ – Sarah Moore Fitzgerald, author of The Apple Tart of Hope and All The Money In The World

‘Clare O’Dea’s gripping novel is a valuable testament to a moment in history. In a critical yet caring way, the author movingly portrays the fate of four disenfranchised women who are nevertheless striving to take control of their lives.’ – Barbara Traber, Swiss author and translator
