- Book Synopsis
- '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 TimesYou're falling through time so all I can do is fall with you.The numbness had set in long before I sat at your bedside. But even with senses impaired as the flight touches down at Belfast City I can somehow still feel the screeching of wheels on tarmac scorching something deep into me. Gary Lightbody's phenomenal companion to Snow Patrol's No.1 Album of the same name is a remarkable work of narrative writing.The Forest is the Path explores some of the main themes of the album; time, home, love, death and life, and serves as a prequel to the record, telling the story of his dad Jack's death. It tracks the journey he went on - a journey whose end seemed to unlock a part of Gary that had been dormant until he started to write songs again.This is the book that emerged from that time. '[An] astoundingly poetic book' - Pandora Sykes'Raw…and extraordinary.' - Nihal Arthanayake'Lightbody's propose is fluid and unflinchingly honest' - The Irish Times'Absolutely beautiful.' Audrey Carville'I have both cried and laughed reading this book. It is beautiful.' - Muireann O'Connell
