Out of Darkness, Shining Light is the captivating story of the loyal men and women who carried explorer and missionary Dr. Livingstone's body, his papers, and maps, 1,500 miles across the continent of Africa, so his remains could be returned home to England and his work preserved there. Narrated by Halima, the doctor's sharp-tongued cook, and Jacob Wainwright, a rigidly pious freed slave, this is a story that encompasses all of the hypocrisy of slavery and colonization - the hypocrisy at the core of the human heart - while celebrating resilience, loyalty, and love.

Brilliantly written story
Revisado: 04-27-21
The story telling style and writing is brilliant. However, it would have been easier for Kiswahili speakers to perform this brilliant piece of work. The performers obviously did their best, but the intonation was off and it impacted on the flow of the story telling.

The Ministry of Utmost Happiness transports us across a subcontinent on a journey of many years. It takes us deep into the lives of its gloriously rendered characters, each of them in search of a place of safety - in search of meaning and of love.

A story as complex and as diverse as India
Revisado: 08-11-18
Arundhati Roy’s masterpiece is a fantastic lyrical treat of stories within stories. The wide range of characters remain with you as they experience humanity in both horrific and glorious ways. The complexity of Kashmir is always present. So are other questions - cast, LGBT, poverty, power, ideology. Roy invites you to live life on the edges and on the margins of a changing India.
