Summary: "Darkness and Daylight: A Novel" by Mary Jane Holmes is a fictional narrative written in the late 19th century. The story explores the lives and intricate relationships of characters such as Richard Harrington, a blind man, and Edith Hastings, a spirited young girl, set against the backdrop of a mysterious and once-abandoned estate called Collingwood. The novel delves into themes of love, tragedy, and the burden of familial expectations, while also hinting at the supernatural with the ghosts of grief that linger in the shadows of Collingwood. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Collingwood, an estate that has been silent for years due to the eccentricities of its owner, Captain Harrington, and the lingering sorrow of his son, Richard, who has lost both his wife and child. Following years of wandering, Richard decides to return to his ancestral home, bringing with him the young Edith, who becomes enchanted with Collingwood's beauty and its mysteries. As Richard wrestles with his blindness and his emotional scars, the curious and tenacious Edith begins to bridge the gap between darkness and light, illustrating the healing power of companionship and hope. The opening chapters set the stage for a tale that promises to be rich in emotional depth and character exploration. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
