After the
recent screening of documentary Gloriavale on TVNZ (http://tvnz.co.nz/gloriavale-a-world-apart/6012087),
there has been a flurry of online chatter about bestselling New Zealand author
Fleur Beale’s novels, several of which feature life in a cult very similar to
the one depicted in the documentary.
Indeed,
e-book sales of Fleur Beale’s non-fiction book on cult life Sins of the
Father: The Long Shadow of a Religious Cult have skyrocketed since the
screening, with the title trending on Google also.
Fleur Beale’s powerful story of life
inside a religious cult, I am not Esther, has become a New Zealand
classic since it was published 16 years ago. Winning the Gaelyn Gordon Award
for a Much-Loved Book, it has remained hugely popular and has been in print
ever since, as well as being published in the US and Germany.
Beale’s fans have always wanted to
hear more about life inside the strict cult and the sequel, I am Rebecca,
was published today, 1st August – please find the press release
attached with more details.
If you would like to see a review
copy or are interested in an interview with Fleur Beale, please do not hesitate
to contact me.
