“Most professional writers are fortunate if they can combine two of those elements on a regular basis. Pamela Sargent is one of the rare ones who combines them all. She gives herself over to her story, and that enables the reader to succumb to it, too. In the best sense of the word, she seduces you into her conception and reveals it to you with concision. She has been doing this consistently for more than thirty years, and at a level of quality that most writers are happy to achieve a quarter of... the time. Her meticulous sense of place, her ability to create real, tangible, convincing environments for her stories shines out in “The Broken Hoop” and in “Outside the Windows,” both of which bring you into the story so effortlessly that the reader is immersed on the strength of the quality of the place of the story. This is very hard to do, even harder to do well. Pamela Sargent makes it look easy. Another example of her literary dressage is found in the way in which she focuses attention without obviously pointing a crucial story element out.MoreLessRead More Read Less
