Two sisters, light and dark.,
By frumiousb "frumiousb" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Tempest And Sunshine (Notable American Authors) (Library Binding)
One of the most common returning themes in Mary J. Holmes novels is that of two sisters-- one of whom is superficially more beautiful but is selfish and cold-hearted while the second sister is less beautiful but is warm and giving. Tempest and Sunshine makes that struggle central to its plot by pitting the sweet and guileless Fanny against her scheming sister Julia.Most reminiscent of Bad Hugh, Tempest and Sunshine continues the Holmes tradition of slightly skewing the expected storyline. Her bad sister is not all bad, and Holmes makes clear that the blame for her badness is not entirely hers. Be aware that the book was set in pre civil-war south and it engages in some possibly unpleasant apologies for slavery.

This review is from: Tempest and Sunshine (Kindle Edition)
Tempest & Sunshine - Night & Day... polar opposites. Nicknames a father gives his two daughters.Tempest, refusing to take second place, and Sunshine... just that, a ray of Sunshine and breath of fresh air. Tempest does everything she can to conquer the men who come into her path - successful and sure of herself. Sunshine, steady and true, suffers the consequences of her sister's scheming..... how will it end? For MJH fans... it is a must read. |
