Svaté deníky Série

A laugh-filled, fictional daily chronicle of family and church exploits, featuring Adrian Plass's literary alter ego and a memorable cast of supporting characters.

Leser von "Das heilige Tagebuch von Adrian Plass" werden sich an die 'kleine, aber mächtige' Figur von Andromeda Veal erinnern. Andromeda hat sich den Oberschenkelhals gebrochen, während sie versuchte, 'Müsli zu essen und Rollschuh zu fahren'. Von ihren getrennten Eltern im Stich gelassen, liegt sie einsam im Krankenhausbett. Anne Plass mobilisiert die gesamte Gemeinde, um Briefe zu schreiben. Zu den alten Freunden, die Stift und Papier zur Hand nehmen, gehören Gerald Plass, der rätselhafte Leonard Thynn, Charles Cook (von der Deep Joy Bibelschule), Adrian selbst und sogar die gefürchtete Mrs Flushpool. Andromeda antwortet nicht nur auf diese Briefe, sondern schreibt auch an die Berühmten - darunter Cliff Richard - mit strengen, wenn auch schlecht geschriebenen Ratschlägen. Dann entscheidet Andromeda, angeregt von Vater John, dass ihre Familienprobleme nur gelöst werden können, wenn sie direkt an die Spitze geht. Sie schreibt an Gott ...

In this second diary, the fictional character Plass is in demand as a public speaker which demands a new diary revealing what has happened to the outrageous Gerald, the joyless Flushpools, incompetent Leonard, the long- suffering Anne and the other well-known characters.

Readers of The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass will recall the 'small but powerful' figure of Andromeda Veal. Andromeda has broken her femur while trying to 'eat muesli and roller skate at the same time'. Deserted by her separated parents, she lies in a hospital bed feeling very lonely. Anne Plass mobilises the whole church into writing letters. Among the old friends who put pen to paper are Gerald Plass, the enigmatic Leonard Thynn, Charles Cook (from Deep Joy Bible School), Adrian himself and even the dreaded Mrs Flushpool. Andromeda not only replies to these letters, but writes to the famous - among them Cliff Richard - with stern, if badly spelled, advice. Then, with the urging of Father John, Andromeda decides that her family problems will only be solved if she goes right to the top. She writes to God ...

'Feel led to keep a diary. A sort of spiritual log for the benefits of others in the future. Can't think of anything to put in today. Still, tomorrow's Sunday. Must be something on Sunday, surely?' So opens the book that has become a firm favourite with readers of all ages. Here for the first time are Adrian's long-suffering wife and outrageous son, Gerald. Here are the stalwarts of his church: tippling Leonard Thynn, the Flushpools and peerless young feminist Andromeda Veal.
