Synopsis
It is 4:41pm on a Friday in February. The lights go out. The clocks stop. The fridge stops buzzing.
The sun is setting, there is silence, and darkness quickly follows.
For seven years, Anna has done her best to avoid talking, or even thinking about, the events which led to her raising her daughter Lucy on her own. But when her mother-in-law Celia turns up with her dog Rufus in tow, being in the dark together forces the family to confront the magnitude of both a growing crisis and the tidal wave of their own grief.
Told over the course of one night, In the Dark is a propulsive, tender novel about grappling with modern parenthood, navigating grief, and facing up to our fears, and hopes, for the future.
