There are some things in life which we want to get over or don’t want to dow any more with but the webbing of situations is done in such a way at that time that we are forced to do or take actions that we are not consciously admiring them to be. However, I believe in these times, if we take actions in the favour of situation and not us, it is still our decision to do so, subconsciously we do want to do the things which we earlier claimed we don’t want to.
Similar is the situation with Escaping Psychiatry’s protagonist, Dr. Mary Miller. After doing her PhD, she tries to focus on her writing career rather than her background of psychiatry. The book contains three situational stories: Canned Fodder, Teamwork, & Memory, in which the protagonist is situational forced to choose her background. All three stories are filled with liable characters and share the same protagonist and some recurring characters.
Olga Nunez Miret characterisation is good. She doesn’t leave holes in between the stories when it comes to developing her characters with time and doesn’t lead to the danger of disowning a reader from the text of the book. Her writing is intriguing and sometimes surprising and her character building is really strong. You won’t forget Dr. Mary Miller for quite some time. The plots of these three stories are in harmony, especially the second one: Teamwork which includes detectives, criminals, lies, emotions, and confessions. It is the best work of the book and everything is aligned with other in a manner in those pages, the characters, the plot. Her next story, the Memory is also worth taking a look.
Certainly, Miret’s background of Psychiatry has helped to build the base of the book with themes that are worth a thought.
