The Forest Is the Path

'The pages sing in this beautiful book.' – Bono 'Moving and lyrical, The Forest is the Path is an imaginative and deeply personal journey of self-discovery.' – The Irish Times 'A beautiful piece of work.' – Ryan Tubridy, Virgin Radio 'I read it in one go…and then I read it again.' Lorraine Kelly 'This book is visceral and raw, travelling at breakneck speed through moments of grief, memories and artistic creation.' The Sunday Post (Scotland) 'Raw…extraordinary' – Nihal Arthanyake '[An] astoundingly poetic book.' – Pandora Sykes 'Like Joan Didion in her remarkable memoirs about grief, Lightbody is well able to capture the surreality of the disappearance of a loved one out of your life.' – The Irish Independent 'Gary Lightbody's lyricism works just as beautifully on the page as it does in his music.' – Loverboy Magazine 'Much like Dante's dark wood or the mythic journey into the unknown, Lightbody's forest is both an obstacle and a revelation – a place where getting lost is the only way forward.' – Irish Times 'Absolutely beautiful.' Audrey Carville 'Lightbody's propose is fluid and unflinchingly honest' – The Irish Times
