Amidst; amid; between

Post by barbicane »

I was about to use "between serenity and turmoil", meaning someone who is facing both conditions, but now I am hesitating about the the best of the following options:

between serenity and turmoil
among serenity and turmoil (I believe this one is not an option)
amid serenity and turmoil
amidst serenity and turmoil

Any help would be appreciated.

'Amid' is probably best.
