    Good Points: Quiet As Its Kept is told through the voices of the characters. Ms. West Sellars created people that everyone has known at some time or another. You are methodically fed clues that are no revealed until the book's conclusion.

    Bad Points: There were a couple of scenes where I would rather have seen the event than be told. My only other complaint is I wish she had more than one book to read.

    General comments: In the tradition of the African American Slave Quilts a tapestry is woven.. Secrets,,, every family has them. For the Scotts, it is the death of a father that loosens the first thread in a web of lies that begins to unravel. Through the voices of Terry, Zena and Shirley, Janet West Sellars takes you on a tour through the streets of Newport News, Virginia and which traverses the span of a lifetime as the truth begins to surface. You have the pleasure of getting to know each member intimately until they start reminding you of people you've known. With immense pleasure, I tried in vain to put the stitches back together. Ms. West-Sellars is a master in slowly and methodically feeding the reader tiny clues without the reader's knowledge. In its conclusion all of these pieces will fall into place to reveal a mystery that longs to be told. Quiet As It's Kept will probably best be read when you know you won't have to put it down. I look forward to reading the next book by Janet West Sellars and suspect that I will remain a fan of her work because quiet as its kept she has the story telling skills of the old griots and is not to be ignored.
