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. Dark
humorous and inventive, In a Dark Wood casts light on the nature of
depression, genius and of the healing power of storytelling.
