REVIEW of
STILLPOINT
by Patricia Campbell Kowal
Ms. Kowal skillfully weaves past with
present in this intriguing romantic, tragic epic. Through chapters that alternate time periods,
we witness wars and other calamities between brief respites of love and
happiness. All of this happens through
the eyes of several generations of the Barsby
family.
This style of writing is difficult to
pull-off and, in many books, confuses the reader, but Kowal relates her tale in
a skillful and seemingly effortless manner that truly makes the story
flow. She masterfully details the
ambience of each location and era.
The first page will draw you into
Sam’s dreams of flying geese - that eventually take him on an odyssey around
the world. Brace yourself for a plethora
of tragedies (but there is, ultimately and thankfully, a happy ending).
