In Stained Glass Lives, Louise Worthington’s writing fuses poetry and prose, beauty, and violence. Sometimes, tender, sometimes harsh, she explores loss, female power, and the power of distorted thought, as well as creating stark portraits of family, violence, and revenge.
The characters are flawed and visceral, from ghosts, daughters, mothers, wives, to taxi drivers, teachers, a frail widow, and a mercenary shop assistant.
From the delightful insight into aging in "Visitors", gently humorous at the same time as pulling at the heart strings, to the unexpected gruesome climax in Humming, the hilarious yet humiliating embarrassment in Red Swimsuit, the sumptuous words to complement the themes in Reflections from an Epicure, to Beauty, brief but beautiful in its poignancy, reminiscent in some ways, of The Velveteen Rabbit, we are taken on a journey of words, phrases, and themes which make up our diverse, varied, chaotic, and changeable lives.

I will note to other readers, I found these stories serve more as psychological milieu than a driving plot. It has the same feel as sitting within a cathedral having access into the mind of others while they stare into the stain glass. I liken it to what a catholic priest might receive if all his sinners were poets. It itches that I'm wondering what she's thinking pulsation. They're ephemeral yet pleasing.
Now onto the audio. The narrator had a solid performance. Yet as the listener I needed a longer pause between each short. One short jumping into another caused an effect similar to a poetic enjambment. However, in this case, I found this lack of negative audio space made the story hard to follow. I wished the audio engineer on this had added 4-5 second after each chapter segment narration to help distinguish one story from another.
Great Prose. I liken it to a confessional booth.
