Darkness and Daylight: A Novel by Mary Jane Holmes explores the lives of complex characters, including a blind man and a spirited young girl, set against the backdrop of a once-abandoned estate. The story delves into love, loss, and the weight of familial expectations while hinting at a supernatural presence tied to grief. The estate, long silent due to the eccentricities of its owner and the sorrow of his son, becomes a central figure in the narrative. The blind man, scarred by the loss of his wife and child, returns to his ancestral home, accompanied by the young girl, who becomes enchanted by the estate’s mysteries. As the narrative unfolds, the girl s curiosity and optimism begin to bring light into the dark corners of the estate, offering hope to the emotionally wounded man. The tale explores the healing power of companionship as the characters confront their past traumas. Through their journey, the story highlights themes of emotional recovery, the struggle between despair and hope, and the transformative power of human connection in overcoming grief. The novel weaves together emotional depth and rich character development as it navigates the path from darkness to daylight.

    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
