Three sophisticated brilliantly written stories, 25 Feb 2004
By Sherry Russell "Reviewer/author" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stilled: A Three-Story Collection (Paperback)
Stilled is a study in the frailties of uncensored human nature. The book is a collection of three sophisticated brilliantly written stories, each a teasing exploration into self-esteem, illusions, dreams and the law of opposites. In the first story, Stilled, the main character, Rose, is a ballerina with the moves of a first rate talent. But all is not what it seems to be as Rose looks for a solution to her personal emptiness. When Rose states "I'm absolutely sickened at my being forced to confront what defines me" allows the reader a marvelous view into what makes the character tick. The second story, Mary, is a view of two friends and the fickle imagination of gossipy pleasures. "Sarah looked at Mathilde as though she were seeing her through a crystal glass that refracted her friend in a sort of fantastic display" beckons us to wonder if we ever really know anyone. In the third story, Unnoticed Wonder, the author writes "the world is a sword that destroys in its search for an elusive happiness, one that never yields to pursuit" challenges the reader's thinking.
Stilled is sharply written, psychologically spiked and collectively captivating. A splendid debut book by Ms. Schmidt.
