“For anyone who is going through a dark period, this is the most embodied, accurate and easy to read book I’ve read on The Dark Night of the Soul. It will meet you right in the centre of your actual experience of darkness and hold you like a wise and dear friend. This is so badly needed on the planet right now. “
Candace Kirby
“Every page I nod my head and am so deeply touched that there’s a place where I can metaphorically lay my weary head and heart, a place of profound understanding, wisdom and expression.”

“Probably one of the most important books I’ve ever read. It’s grounded and easy to connect to in a way other books on the subject have not been. I’ve highlighted and circled so many parts of this wonderful book. I’m in one of the toughest periods of my life right now, and this book has, and will probably remain for years to come, a lifeline. Gorgeous, honest, grounded, loving. Phenomenal.”
Goodreads reader review
“The Dark Night of the Soul portrays the hero’s journey from the darkness of psychological desolation into the light of wholeness and integration. Fiona Robertson provides a much-needed service; a map and a message of hope for anyone seeking a way forward in the midst of spiritual crisis.”
Angelo John Lewis, Director of the Diversity and Spirituality Network and author of Notes for a New Age
“I love your book!! It touches me like not many books have. Similar to Etty Hillesum and Eckhart Tolle when I read that years ago, almost like magic. Reading it feels like a deep recognition. I think it is great for people going through that phase of the dark night and knowing that they are not alone. I guess it is a universal experience, which I didn’t know at the time and I realise that more now when I read your book.”
Anna
“I’m still reading your book – ever so slowly because I want to savour it and taste every word which rings so true for me. It is one of the most beautiful books I’ve read. I feel the presence from which the words have sprung forth. It’s so clear and it’s truly a gift to read. Your words describe my own dark night of the soul even though my crash happened 14 years ago. Some times your writing makes me laugh because your experiences are so familiar to me. You really have a gift for putting words to experiences that are incredibly difficult to grasp when they’re happening, so it’s a very valuable book.”
Annette Birkmann, author and speaker.

My poetry collection is now available in paperback from the usual online outlets.
“As tender as it is uncompromising, Fiona Robertson’s poetry is alive to the shades and subtleties of the human condition in all its miraculous wonder, as well as its earth-shattering pain. Throughout this distinctive collection, her voice dances openly between darkness and light with a nuance that defies any attempt at categorisation, immersing the reader in a world of heart and mind that asserts the raw, wild presence we come to know through our experience despite its many traumas and imperfections.”
C.W. Blackburn, author of Where Words Are Yet To Be Spoken
