Description
Thirty-nine, divorced, jobless: Benedick Hunter is going nowhere, heading in the exact opposite direction he expected. So when he comes across a children's book that his mother, Laura, wrote, he decides that her life and work—haunting stories replete with sinister woods, wicked witches, and brave girls who battle giants—hold the key to finding out why his own life is such a mess.
Setting out to discover why Laura killed herself when he was six, Benedick travels to the US. As he grows more obsessed with what happened to his mother, Benedick enters into a dark wood—one that is both hilariously real and terrifyingly psychological. Darkly humorous and inventive, In a Dark Wood casts light on the nature of depression, genius, and the healing power of storytelling.
