The Zen Lovers

By James Ó Ceallaigh

This novel will appeal to truth seekers everywhere, including those familiar with the teachings of Suzuki Roshi of the San Francisco Zen Center.

"Oshiro Roshi left her with the responsibility, but no clear authority. Why didn’t he foresee the problems? She smiled to herself. Of course he did. Master of problems, he loved creating problems. “Better to have problems” he would always say.

"Otto stooped to clear the doorway, wisps of his blonde shoulder length hair across his face. “All’s good?” he asked. A few minutes and several pleasantries later he was sipping tea and trying to relax. Marie smiled. He glanced at her, and in that glance took in her delicate female shape. He felt embarrassed to notice such things and tried to put it from his mind.

Reviews:
"It was alright." - Rose
"Quite good. Sort of chick-lit really." - Helen
"A bit perfunctory." - Marcus
"The main action scene was quite well written. Quite exciting really." - Richard
