Description
Jacqueline Yallop's exploration of darkness delves into its many guises and mysteries. From the physical realities of night to the psychological dark that shapes our sense of self, she examines how we attempt to understand and contain it.
The author reflects on her own relationship with darkness, including a childhood experience in an unfamiliar bedroom, as well as her father's deteriorating Alzheimer's. This personal perspective is woven together with a broader consideration of how our love-hate relationship with states of darkness can change over time and circumstance.
Through a series of night-time walks and reflections on the many textures, moods, and meanings of darkness, Yallop celebrates it as a thing of beauty while peering into the void. The result is a thought-provoking exploration that faces the darkness full on in all its guises and mysteries.
