A memoir from Welsh travel writer Horatio Clare, The Light in the Dark is a look into a British winter from the perspective of someone suffering from seasonal affective disorder. Written as diary entries, Clare shares memories of past Christmases, beautiful winter landscapes across the Welsh countryside, and the birth of his son, born in January. His focus on happy winter memories does not work, but after seeking medical advice, he learns of simple ways to treat his depression. No matter how dark winter feels, the promise of spring burns bright.
