Sidney Welles is assigned the Catholic Church image overhaul campaign and sets out to give the church a face lift of sorts…what ensues is a hilarious stumble through questions of faith, love and self discovery.

Susi Rajah’s solo debut has proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that contemporary literature or Chic Lit can be thought provoking and outrageously funny without requiring the reader to check their common sense and intellect at the door.

Sydney Welles was one of those career women that seemed to have everything figured out and running smoothly. However, that which works so well on paper does not always translate into reality quite so seamlessly. Dumped by her boyfriend for a shapelier blond, she throws herself into work. Assigned, by her alcoholic boss, to the all important Catholic Church image overhaul campaign, it’s up to Sidney to find a way to put the church back into the good graces of the people. She begins sending emails to god, simple questions, comments and personal observations and rants. In one particularly poignant communication she tells ‘god’ she prefers he not respond, because these days folks that claim to speak with him aren’t exactly Solomon or David.

Part saint, part sinner, wholly engrossing, this book will have you laughing, while nodding your head in agreement. The no-nonsensical dialogue style brings the reader right into the heart and soul of theological, religious debates, as well as, the hypocrisy within our society through this hilarious, entertaining read. The blurbs on the dust cover are appealing appetizers, that give the reader an indication of the delicious entree just waiting to be devoured. Brilliantly conceived, uniquely written and conveyed with depth and conviction, Rajah’s quick wit and subtle criticisms, combined with no holds barred emails to the Big Guy himself, demonstrate her uniquely evocative way of crafting an intelligent feast that is truly satisfying!

This is one of those novels you will want to pass around to friends and family! I recommend this novel to all fiction readers, ladies and gentlemen alike! If you enjoy a fun read that seems to melt the hours from the clock and never insults your intelligence, The Gospel According To Sidney Wells delivers!

Happy Reading!


This would be a wonderfully fun romantic comedy movie - provided the right folks were cast to play the roles! I would love to see it on the big screen!

THE DIVE

---The story of a man who goes to the extreme of faking his death in order to start a new life... and the woman who saves him from himself.

A man desperately seeking a do-over life, a woman willing to risk it all to save him from himself—The Dive is a romance-laced, intrigue-driven tale. Together they are swept up in the turbulent waves of a world in the throes of an identity crisis of its own.

Michael and Maria are flawed, yet redeemable characters who walk a tightrope of events that seem to be “ripped from the current headlines.” You will see the world through their eyes as they struggle to find meaning, love and life. Readers uniformly agree on the The Dive’s intensely personal realism and overriding sense of authenticity.


A strong narrative storyline seamlessly blends elements of intrigue, high tension and romantic suspense.

kathy! oh kathy!

The classic novel about creepy old Heathcliffe and his entourage. I re-read this book at Halloween, and it really is a fitting time to read it then.

I had no earthly idea what people see in this book. I do love classics and I do love women writers. So what's so wrong with this one? I couldn't stand Heathcliff. I hated Cathy and thought she was a wimp

Can anyone out there help me understand the value of this classic?
I would love the help!

Heathcliff is dreamy...

BLURB
the story is narrated by Lockwood, a gentleman visiting the Yorkshire moors where the novel is set, and of Mrs Dean, housekeeper to the Earnshaw family, who had been witness of the interlocked destinies of the original owners of the Heights. In a series of flashbacks and time shifts, Brontë draws a powerful picture of the enigmatic Heathcliff, who is brought to Heights from the streets of Liverpool by Mr Earnshaw. Heathcliff is treated as Earnshaw's own children, Catherine and Hindley. After his death Heathcliff is bullied by Hindley, who loves Catherine, but she marries Edgar Linton. Heathcliff 's destructive force is unleashed, and his first victim is Catherine, who dies giving birth to a girl, another Catherine. Isabella Linton, Edgar's sister, whom he had married, flees to the south. Their son Linton and Catherine are married, but always sickly Linton dies. Hareton, Hindley's son, and the young widow became close. Increasingly isolated and alienated from daily life, Heathcliff experiences visions, and he longs for the death that will reunite him with Catherine.

REVIEW
I HATE this book with a passion beyond description. All could have been avoided if even one of the immmense cast had a conscious. But no, these two dimensional idiots are all idiots - incapable of personal growth......GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
And Heathcliffe - how can anyone place him in the same light as Mr Darcy or Rochester? A romantic hero - I think not!


UPDATE
My mother recently re-read this book for the first time since she was a teenager, with her book club. Though all the women had loved it when they were younger, they felt in the main the same way as I do!
rotton sentimental drivel!

I love this book. I should have it done today.
