Keeper of Secrets..Translations of an Incident, is a fascinating great read. It is composed of 8 short stories, all connected by one incident. A near stabbing occurs in a restaurant, and everyone who was present is affected by this. Past memories, some tragic are resurfaced and each character is faced with accepting and dealing with their past. Jealousy, infidelity, mental illness are just a few of these "inner secrets" that arise in Keeper. “Keeper of Secrets...Translations of an Incident”, is a wonderfully evocative book. Anjuelle Floyd provides a beautifully crafted emotional journey for her readers. Each story revolves around a central incident – a conflict in a restaurant – that somehow involves each character, changing their lives. “The Keeper of Secrets” is an emotional character study. Floyd writes with a penetrating tenderness as she explores the emotions of her characters, showing their strengths and flaws. The characters withstand her probing, stepping forth renewed; stronger, more confident and spiritually centered than before. I greatly enjoyed “The Keeper of Secrets” and highly recommend it. I also greatly enjoyed reading Floyd's second book, “The House”. The stories in Keeper of Secrets...Translations of an Incident, are about what goes unspoken in relationships as much as they are about communication. The author, Anjuelle Floyd, plays with delightful phrasing, spinning the reader into an enigmatic world of guarded implication, daring the reader to discover the deeper meaning veiled in the words. Keeper of Secrets is a collection of eight stories, all connected in some way by an incident that occurs in the first story. Every story flows along certain themes of inner conflict and resolution, melding into an entirety, while still maintaining each story as a stand-alone narrative. I found some of the stories worked slightly better than others, but they were all engaging and compelling. The book plays out as a mosaic, each story a section of a beautiful picture, yet enjoyable on its own merit. The book explores sadness, regret, secrets and poignant struggles as each character tries to cope with or solve an emotional dilemma that plagues their lives. I enjoyed this book. I liked the lyrical, spiritual quality that trickled from the pages and the complicated, yet hopeful attributes of the characters. It’s the type of book that you sink into and swirls around your senses. I can easily recommend it.
