Reviews
"Nick Lake weaves Haiti’s dark past with its painful present into a story that is gripping, moving and uplifting. This novel dances with
extraordinary confidence from one era to another, mixing the contemporary with the historical to create a rich and fascinating dialogue
across the centuries. In Darkness is stunningly original and hard-hitting." —William Sutcliffe
