Both Cal and Wren have to deal with their issues, families and each other. Illness is always possibility, but again we tend to think about it as something that is not happening to us. We think that death is something that happens to other people, we know we can't escape it, but it's something abstract, almost like a dream. Lovely, Dark and Deep is a story about death and grief, just like Larkin's poem Aubade which Wren reads all over again. Wren and Cal are "broken souls", running away from their past or future and hiding within the walls of their big houses in the woods. There is a love story, there is a new, mysterious boy, but he is not what you might expect. Maybe you'd think it is after reading book summary, but it is not. Amy McNamara managed to write a really powerful story that will leave you wanting more.īroken people, woods and Phillip Larkin. They didn't! Lovely, Dark and Deep is a book that you should read with pen and paper. I pick up a book, realize it will be one of the epic kind, devour it in a day and I think my friends probably made an effort to save all the good quotes. Why didn't I write down all those amazing quotes? I've made same mistake - again.
