Look After Each Other
Sofia Haslington is a 36-year-old mother and housewife kept under the thumb of her priggish, anal-retentive husband, Derek. Living by a second-to-second timetable and under strict rules enforced by her husband. Sofia decides to visit a well-respected clairvoyant, hoping for a bit of respite from her otherwise dreary existence. But what she is surprised to learn that day not only changes her life…it changes her.
Sofia, now planning to die on March 5, 2005, writes a “Do or Die” list and, with a renewed sense of spirit, unleashes the bad girl hidden deep down inside. From breaking the Ten Commandments to exploring the marvels of Tantric sex, Sofia goes on a liberating journey of body, mind, and spirit, relishing every last minute she has left on this earth. Women everywhere will laugh, cry, and cheer as Sofia counts down her final moments, making each one more memorable and enjoyable than the last.
Sofia’s Legacy
All deceased people come back to watch their own farewell on earth, and so it was that Sofia came to watch her funeral with her father, Scott. After, they go “upstairs” to rejoin the other dead in the afterlife.
As Sofia adjusts to death, she and the other deceased enjoy the pleasures of the afterlife-watching events downstairs, and helping or hindering with no one aware of their presence. After the funeral and a grand wake, life goes on for the people who were a part of Sofia’s life: the control-freak, Derek; his sister-in-law, Miranda; the twins, Donny and Sophie; and Charles Urquart-Latterley, an eminent surgeon determined to marry Miranda.
In Look After Each Other, Sofia transformed her life after learning of her impending death. In Sofia’s Legacy, readers discover what happens upstairs and downstairs in the year following her death and learn the answers to the unanswered questions from the first part of her absorbing story.
Time and Tide
This novel is Irene Stephenson’s life story, told in rich and glowing detail. From her early childhood the reader shares her loves and losses; her happiness and her sorrows. It is set in the second half of the twentieth century, in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and the West Midlands. However, this is not just a compelling novel but it has an additional aspect in the form of a diary which provides a fascinating chronicle of the social changes and events of the last five decades.
No Regrets
When we meet 30-something Joanna she is newly divorced and trying to re-build her life. We share her innermost thoughts, as she realises she has to come to terms with being an available single woman for any predatory male among her neighbours and at the school where she teaches, a hotbed of professional and sexual duplicity. How she reconciles her new role in life, copes and fails to cope with the challenges, results in a diary-based novel startling in its frankness.
In her second novel Marilyn L. Rice brings acute observation to her story which moves along at pace, fully involving the reader. Many will identify with the agonising decisions facing professional women. This is reality in today’s world.
Stay in Touch
Just what can drive a woman to murder? Or even three murders? Men. How can she become a serial killer, undetected and rich on the proceeds of her crimes? It all seems too simple for Christabelle after failed marriages to a homosexual and a bigamist. She confides only so much to her best friend as they recall their youthful wishes and dreams. If you have ever written down 50 things you intend to do before 30, 40 or 50 you will understand and marvel at this black comedy.
Marilyn Rice has written a story which races along with the pace of a thriller yet shrewdly observes the problems facing women today and a terrifying solution of how they can be overcome. And when you have finished the book the story will stay long in your mind…whether you are a woman – or even more so if you are a man.
