Travelling in the Dark was published in July 2018 as part of our Fairlight Moderns. It is the story of Sarah, who after ten years travels back to her home town with her son. Returning to well-known places from her youth, Sarah reflects in the relationship with her family and the events of the past that have shaped her present.
