It's Not Yet Dark

Beautifully written. Utterly life-affirming - Alan Rickman

A beautiful love story - in its essence that’s what this is. Survival stories are not about surviving, they’re inherently about what makes a survivor push through. A desire to remain in the light of all creation, even as a darkening is taking place. A darkening which happens to us all - Colin Farrell

If you are hungry for truth and beauty, read this book - Roisin Ingle, The Irish Times

[A] gripping, affecting, sometimes funny read by a natural-born storyteller with something to say about the weight and the value of a life…If you need a story of courage, of heart, of coming back for more, of love and struggle and the power of both, It’s Not Yet Dark could be the elusive thing you’re after - Joseph O’Connor

Part memoir, part stark document of the way [Simon] and his family have dealt with motor neuron disease, and part fierce celebration of being alive, It’s Not Yet Dark is powerful, gripping and compelling - The Irish Times

[It’s Not Yet Dark is] a demonstration of a will to live that is breathtaking…There’s a rhythm of immediacy that feels like a still-beating heart whose strength is beyond admirable. It is a work of a documentary poetry…an extraordinary read - The Herald

An unforgettable read about what it means to be alive - Woman’s Way magazine

The word ‘inspirational’ is over-used, but if ever a book deserved this epithet, this is it - Sunday Independent
