Set in journal entries over a four-five month period, it also chronicles the daily life of the writer as he hurries from crawling on a wet roof for emergency repairs, tries to give heart to his class of writing students, celebrates holidays with his wife and two sons and tries to define his depression, which seems to be from constant overwhelm in trying to keep the cold from entering the keyhole and writing enough to keep the wolf from the door. He does all so beautifully in my opinion that I do wish he would not berate himself so. When he stops wondering why he handles his life so badly, he is an exquisite observer of nature: how a snow bell opens, whether it is the male or female owl which cries, how sheep huddle in the snow. TO BE READ AGAIN FOR CERTAIN!! I LOVE THIS WRITER! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deeply Honest Journal *by P***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 7, 2018* Readers of Horatio Clare's works will be aware that he does battle with the 'blues' on occasion and this particular work is a very personal and deeply honest journal, it seems used by the author as an aid in helping him fight the 'blues' brought upon him by winter. As I write this review on a dark damp November day I do have much empathy with the author. It would be wrong to think of this work as depressing, as it is really a celebration of self, family, friends and community and it is not without its amusing passages. There is some wonderfully written descriptive prose and the beauty of winter shines through the damp and dullness. Set mainly in Northern England, the reader is also taken to Wales where Clare spent much of his childhood and it is interesting to note how aging changes the perception of winter months. I found myself remembering my own childhood experiences in winter. There are also brief passages concerning experiences during winter in more exotic places (I accept that it could be debatable as to whether Venice is more exotic that Hebdon Bridge and Liverpool). The time in Venice is especially charming and it had me later re-reading Joseph Brodsky's Watermark, a wonderful recollection of the author experiencing the city in winter.One advantage of the dark evenings of winter is that it allows for reading of good literature and I most definitely include this book amongst this. It is so refreshing that more and more we have folk talking openly of mental health problems and the author and his like are to be applauded for their honesty. I am very much an observer of nature and this book will have me working on that even more so throughout this winter. I believe any reader of this journal will feel they want to do likewise. I enjoyed the reading of this journal very much indeed and felt more positive for having done so. ### ⭐⭐ Maybe I'm confused *by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 26, 2018* On reading the description when buying I thought that this book would be about all the different aspects of Winter in nature, contemplation and meditation. Which in a way it was, however, it was more about how the author copes with his varying depressive moods and tendancies throughout the season with him finally getting psychiatric assitance and advice with the coming of Spring. I enjoy all aspects of the seasons, so in effect I thought this rather a self indulgant ramble and unfortunately a waste of my time (and money). Not one for me I'm afraid. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/150221785-the-light-in-the-dark-a-winter-journal-a-journey](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/150221785-the-light-in-the-dark-a-winter-journal-a-journey) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
