In "When It Was Dark," Guy Thorne delves into the profound depths of human despair and existential contemplation through a compelling narrative that intertwines themes of faith, doubt, and the haunting questions of life beyond death. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century societal upheaval, Thorne employs a lyrical style rich in metaphor and psychological insight, capturing the turbulence of an era grappling with the shadows of war and the quest for meaning in a changing world.
