Credits: Produced by Al Haines
Summary: "Barnaby: A Novel" by Rina Ramsay is a fiction work written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a complicated web of relationships following the mysterious return of Barnaby, a man presumed dead, and the impact his return has on those he left behind, particularly a young widow named Susan who has been living under the shadow of his name. Themes of identity, deception, and social status interweave as characters grapple with their pasts and current circumstances. The opening of the novel introduces a bleak setting in a desolate town called Paradise, where a struggling acting troupe led by manager M'Kune seeks to escape their dire situation. The atmosphere is charged with despair and a sense of impending doom, especially for an ailing girl who becomes a pivotal figure in the unfolding drama. As the troupe prepares for their last performance, we learn that another woman, with her own burdens and aspirations, is about to be thrust into a life-altering decision that will intertwine with Barnaby’s story. The narrative sets a tense tone, juxtaposing the desperation of the actors with the mystery of the awaiting return of Barnaby, hinting at themes of survival and transformation.
