Description
Benedick Hunter's life has taken a drastic turn since his recent divorce. With no job and little hope for happiness, he finds himself drawn to his mother's old children's books. Laura's stories, filled with dark woods and wicked witches, seem to hold the key to understanding why her own life ended in tragedy. As Benedick searches for answers about his mother's death, he becomes increasingly obsessed with her books and their veiled references to reality. His journey takes him from England to the US, as he seeks out his mother's friends and long-lost relatives. Along the way, he delves into a dark world that is both humorous and terrifyingly psychological. As Benedick navigates this complex landscape, he begins to uncover the truth about his mother's genius and the nature of depression. Through his story, Benedick comes to realize the healing power of storytelling in our lives. This novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the human experience, one that will leave readers pondering the complexities of life and the impact of stories on our understanding of ourselves.
