What We Did in the Dark is a historical novel which vividly portrays the early life of novelist Catherine Carswell.
I made what may be called a rash and foolish marriage to a man I scarcely knew.
1904: Cathie longs for adventure. A whirlwind romance with soldier and artist Herbert Jackson offers this and more, but Herbert is violently jealous and she is soon fighting for her freedom – and her life. A fictionalised account of Catherine Carswell’s first marriage, What We Did in the Dark is a compelling portrait of a trail-blazing writer.
What We Did in the Dark is beautifully written, and whilst also hard hitting and very graphic in its detail, it is a compelling read.
