Tell me your dreams

Few know anything more about Sidney Sheldon other than his profile of being the bestselling American author of books like If Tomorrow Comes, The Other Side of Midnight, Rage of Angels, The Doomsday Conspiracy, among many others. Fewer know that he spent the first twenty years of his professional life as a screenwriter and creator of Broadway musicals and for mega production houses like MGM and Paramount Pictures. His career as a writer began only post-50 after retiring from his previous stint in Hollywood. Sidney Sheldon was an Oscar award winning American writer; he was born 11th feb 1917 at Chicago and died in 2007. He was the creator of TV shows ‘The Patty Duke Show’, ‘I Dream of Jeannie’, and ‘Hart to Hart’, and was also ranked 7th in the best selling writer of all time list, the list which is topped by William Shakespeare & Agatha Christie. His other novels included ‘Master of the Game’, ‘The other Side of Midnight’, and ‘Rage of Angels’. He has also written his autobiography by the name ‘The Other Side Of Me’, and also many Broadway plays.

‘Tell Me your Dreams’ was first published in 1998 by William Morrow. Though my copy is published by Harper Collins, and it is 341 pages long, which includes main story, Author’s note and bibliography at the end. The book is divided over 3 parts – Book 1, 2 & 3. I took 4 days to complete this book. This book as said is fiction based on actual events or cases. Book 1 contains 10 chapters (108 pages), Book 2 has 11 chapters divided over 150 pages, and Book 3 has 8 chapters.Tell Me Your Dreams is another Sheldon masterpiece that encapsulates the trademarks of the author- gripping plot and high-profile drama. Written in 1998, the book traces the story of three women- Ashley Patterson, an introverted workaholic; Toni Prescott, a girl who likes to live life to the fullest and is an outgoing dancer and singer; and Alette Peters, a shy painter who has a calming effect on whoever she meets and interacts with.
