emotional hopeful reflective sad slow-paced

5.0

This a beautiful and very brave memoir 

You can  certainly tell Seán Hewitt is a poet. The words drip off the page. One of the best books about the reality of living with, and caring for someone with depression can be. It also rendors perfectly what a debilitating emotion shame can be.

I definitely want to seek out someone Seán Hewitt's poetry now. I am not generally a re reader but I shall definitely be returning to this one as I think the more I read it the more I will get from it.

Can I also recommend reading and listening to this book at same time as the author reads it himself which makes it even more poignant.
