The rise of a religious cult intertwines with the secret history of a family in this tale from a master of suspense at the top of her game
The last time Dodie sees her mother alive, Stella is unusually busy, tattily splendid in an old red velvet dress. Soon after, Dodie's brother Seth goes missing: the only trace of him is through postcards signed "Yours in the Lord" addressed from the Soul Life Centre, New York state. When Stella hangs herself, Dodie must leave her baby Jake at home and cross the Atlantic to bring Seth beck from the mysterious Soul Life Centre. But when she arrives, Seth is always one day away from seeing her. She becomes drawn, not always willingly, into the Brothers and Sisters' communal living, meditation, fasting, and chanting—until baby Jake unexpectedly arrives at Soul Life and events take a shocking turn for Dodie. In a parallel narrative, Stella's sister Melanie tells the story of their teenage years in the 1970s and their shared affair with Bogart, a messianic hippy with shrewd ambition. These two compelling stories collide in a series of shocking revelations and an exhilarating conclusion.

About the Author:
Review:
Lesley Glaister won both a Somerset Maugham Award and a Betty Trask Award for the novel Honour Thy Father. She is also the author of Limestone and Clay, Nina Todd Has Gone, Now You See Me—shortlisted for the Oranage Prize, Partial Eclipse, The Private Parts of Women, and Trick or Treat.
A fascinating and original take on religious cults. I thought it was stunning - a masterpiece * Sophie Hannah * Frightening yet eerily beautiful, her novels are fresh, inventive and deeply felt * Hilary Mantel * Glaister is the real deal - a relentlessly inventive, sharp and intelligent writer. Her new novel . . . is bigger and better than any old psychological thriller -- Henry Sutton * Daily Mirror * A natural storyteller who knows how to keep the reader turning the pages * Independent *
