Uncommonly Good

Poetry in literary motion, this is Anjuelle Floyd's freshman (fiction) offering... Keeper of Secrets -Translations of an incident. Taking you on a journey you've never been on before this book--8 short stories intricately threaded together to create a full-length novel will not disappoint. For distinguishing taste, each story will take on the voice of a character that travels with Anjuelle guiding her into the life of the next story, touching on real topics such as motherhood, marriage, politics and war, while in fantastic settings. So uncommon is this read that you'll find yourself pondering it for a long time. Having heard Anjuelle read from the work it's not hard to see her heart pouring out over Raven and her inner pain to the blind, Sahel and her inner sight...just two of the many well developed, poignant characters. I know I haven't told you much about the stories but they are not easy to put into everyday words, you'd have to be where I was to really appreciate and understand how--out of the ordinary Ms. Floyd's literary work really is. Suffice it to say, I had the advantage of hearing her read the words which could only enhance your experience but trust me...I highly recommend you picking up this book and reading the it yourself. It's well worth it.

Creativity has a name, and it is Anjuelle

An entanglement of lives and lies, Keeper of Secrets, the newest masterpiece by Anjuelle Floyd, is a collection of works which circumvent a single event. This one event provides an opportune moment to further weave the lies lived. The stories written are believable to the extreme that you will likely wonder if this is fiction or fact. While reading Keeper of Secrets, you are taken in by the characters and the situations of their stories. - J.L. Graham, Author/Columnist/Reviewer www.creativesolutions.page.tl

Breaking The Mold

The Keeper of Secrets: Translations of an Incident By Anjuelle Floyd Breaking the Mold - August 20, 2007 In a world where cookie-cutter novels have become the norm rather than the exception - debut author Anjuelle Floyd has broken the mold. The Keeper of Secrets: Translations of an Incident, a collection of interconnecting short stories, is a literary case study in how one incident can be translated into many scenarios. Author Floyd does a magnificent job of making the reader privy to a specific incident with tentacles that touch the lives of others. Embracing her fund of knowledge as a psychologist and grasp of multiple cultures, readers are skillfully and enjoyably drawn into the world of a diverse group of professionals and those in their close and outer circle. A majority of them are carrying luggage that should have been unpacked years ago. A variety of reasons as to why they have not is what will hold your attention. In each story we are introduced to individuals who outwardly are living the life fairy tales are made of. With each turned page you will be exposed to past experiences robbing them of the fullness of the present. You will wonder why Raven is tortured by the cries of her infant? What is it from Lahni Irete's childhood that led to selecting a blind man rather than the man she truly loves as her husband? Why does Arianne seek comfort in the ghost of a deceased patient rather than the arms of her husband? Will Trey's past be the salvation for a positive future? Told in a refreshingly intellectual tone, The Keeper of Secrets, rather than excluding, invites a wide range of readers to imbibe words that stimulate, educate and entertain.

Excellent novel with exotic flair

I loved how this novel was made up of eight, shorter stories, which are all interwoven with shared characters and their interpretations of one incident in a restaurant. The characters are wealthy African-American professionals of a variety of religions, but I think anyone can related to how all of them have their pasts and baggage to deal with before they can manage their current relationships well.
