Description
The Lovely Dark is a beautifully moving and breathtakingly original story of bravery and second chances. When 12-year-old Eleanor Newton dies in an accident, she finds herself journeying down a mysterious river that takes her to The Underworld, a place where children who have died come to live out their afterlife.
Eleanor soon discovers that The Underworld is not as it seems. It's a place of contrasts, where the sun is always warm but the atmosphere is fractured. As she navigates this strange new world, Eleanor must confront the reality of her own death and the circumstances that led her there. With her heart set on returning to the world of the living, Eleanor must find a way out of The Underworld and come to terms with her new reality.
Matthew Fox's prose is beguiling, handling complex themes such as life after a pandemic, mental health, and grief with real lightness of touch. A story that will leave you close to tears, The Lovely Dark is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever wondered what lies beyond the veil of life.
