Held by the Sea by Jane Darke
At the age of 48 documentary filmmaker and painter Jane Darke lost her husband, the playwright Nick Darke, to cancer. After twenty five years together Jane had to start to learn who she was alone.
A very favourable comparison between Held by the Sea and Joan Didion's Year of Magical Thinking.. Jane mourns with the sea constantly in her sights... Anyone who knows the beaches of North Cornwall will know that they are possessed of a special kind of light, well-recognised by the Newlyn artists... somehow I sensed that 'light' reflected in the pages of Held by the Sea. There is grace here along with that life-saving glimmer of hope for anyone feeling that pain of loss. * DoveGreyReader blog *
It takes a strong woman to present their grief to the world and Jane Darke does a tremendous job of it in this book. A truly emotional read that will leave you with a tear in your eye and a heart full of admiration. * Cornwall Today *
