    Book SynopsisAt a new age festival in Byron Bay, Australia, German journalist Anke Richter is finding her spiritual awakening when she meets a woman – a survivor of the Centrepoint cult – who will change the course of her life and career. Over the next ten years, Anke pursued a labyrinthine investigation into how and why cults attract, entrap and destroy otherwise ordinary people, asking what the line is between tribe and cult, participant and perpetrator, seduction and sexual abuse. From the emotional and criminal carnage of Centrepoint in Auckland, New Zealand, to an anti-cult conference in Manchester, the infamous Osho’s ashram in India, the tantric Agama Yoga school in remote Thailand and culminating in a visit to Gloriavale on the west coast of New Zealand’s South Island, Anke uncovers a disturbing pattern of violence and suffering. Cult Trip is a powerful exploration of what really goes on inside the groups we call cults, and how to reckon with their aftermath.Trade Review‘Bringing together information from around the globe, Anke Richter pinpoints the internal struggles of those coming out of cults, and the debilitating harm that lingers afterwards’ -- Rachel Bernstein, cult specialist and educator‘Wild stuff. Anke Richter is one of my favourite writers, blurring the line between participant and reporter’ -- David Farrier, journalist behind Dark Tourist and Tickled‘Thorough and compassionate . . . Cult Trip is a brittle, sensitive book’ -- Steve Braunias'What a book and what a writer! Cult Trip is an incredibly immersive, intense and necessary reading experience put together with doggedness and skill. The stories are heart-rending, told with bravery and care.' * Noelle McCarthy, author of Grand *A ‘powerful must read’ * Style *‘Cult Trip is incredibly painful and powerful - an eye opener, a tour de force and a call for justice. Those voices of survivors can’t be silenced. Thanks to Anke Richter’s courage and compassion, they will be heard.’ * Janja Lalich, author of Take Back Your Life: Recovering from Cults and Abusive Relationships *

    Book SynopsisMariama Bâ’s pioneering debut, So Long a Letter, captures the private lives of women in 1970s Senegal. Recently widowed, Ramatoulaye is required to take sole responsibility for the long mourning process of her late husband. A husband she has not seen in over four years – not after he married his second wife. In a letter to her friend, Ramatoulaye recalls both of their experiences as students impatient to change the world, as wives suffering in the private sphere of marriage, and as mothers witnessing the dangers of Westernisation. Undaunted by topics of polygamy, social castes, and religion, So Long a Letter is a novel rich with poetic prose and profound wisdom. ’Mariama Bâ is in a class of her own, conveying with real power and poetry a subtle, changing world of female experience.’ Guardian ‘The most deeply felt presentation of the female condition in African fiction.’ Abiola Irele Trade ReviewMariama Bâ is in a class of her own, conveying with real power and poetry a subtle, changing world of female experience * Guardian *The most deeply felt presentation of the female condition in African fiction -- Abiola IreleOne could not wish for a more politically alert and more passionately involved account of what life is like for educated Muslim women * London Review of Books *
