Throughout All The Light and Dark Things, Nathalie spins the intriguing tale of several archetypal characters, each in their own way exploring the polarities of good and evil as their lives all inevitably intertwine against a backdrop that takes us from Toronto’s sterile skyscrapers to the sensual kaleidoscope of color, taste, and sound that is India.

 

Compelling her readers to become instantly entranced by each player’s complex personal story, Nathalie weaves together the destinies of the humble spiritual guru, Hadi, hiding a legacy of darkness even as the object of worship by thousands, the dark, sinister Crawley obsessed by revenge, the blissed-out Kalea, teacher of sexuality and avid advocate for the joy of juicy living, Margarite, the narcissistic young mother, who feels so oppressed she’s become suicidally depressed, and Magdalena, an abandoned child weighed down by grief.

 

Somehow connected to them all is our indomitable truth-seeker, Pepper, a dynamic no-nonsense journalist on a quest to find answers to the age-old human dichotomy between light and dark, hoping it will heal her deeply secret pain.

 

Through everything from dangerous encounters to forgiving reunions, these characters all come to trust each other as they learn to trust themselves. This innovative book, created for the inner truth-seeker in us all, deftly blends spiritual teachings with fictional prose, sharing the fate of seemingly disparate personalities that will ultimately resonate with every reader.

 

Come and join us on their journey of self-discovery, which may well become one of your own!
