A review by lit_laugh_luv
All Down Darkness Wide by Seán Hewitt
4.0
Torn between 4 or 4.5 stars - more detailed review to come. A really powerful and moving memoir.
Really enjoyed this despite having minimal contextual knowledge about the poets and religion that are central to the memoir. The writing is absolutely beautiful and reflective and I love how history is integrated into this; my main critique is that the storytelling felt a bit fragmented and oddly paced. I think I would have appreciated more bridges between sections so the gaps in time didn’t feel so abrupt.
