Press reviews for: Sunbathing in the Rain
Dorothy Rowe, author of Breaking the Bonds
Sunbathing in the Rain is undoubtedly the best book I have ever read about one person's experience of depression.
Spectator
This upbeat, very readable and engaging view of depression as a temporary retrenchment, a breathing space in which to adjust better to life, makes encouraging reading.
Simon Hattenstone, Guardian
Gwyneth Lewis writes with clarity, beauty and metaphorical precision. She conveys the darkness, the silence, the selfishness, the mental clutter of depression brilliantly.

The text is aimed primarily at those who are currently depressed and are struggling to recover. The emphasis throughout is on the healing power of self-acceptance and truth-telling.
