The thrilling new novel, inspired by the events at Jonestown in the 1970s. It’s the summer of 1968, and Evelyn Lynden is a woman at war with herself.

Minister’s daughter. Atheist. Independent woman. Frustrated wife. Bitch with a bleeding heart. Following her conscientious-objector husband Lenny to the rural Eden of Evergreen Valley, California, Evelyn wants to be happy with their new life.

Yet she finds herself disillusioned with Lenny’s passive ways — and anxious for a saviour.

Enter the Reverend Jim Jones, the dynamic leader of a new revolutionary church … Meticulously researched and masterfully written, Beautiful Revolutionary explores the allure of the real-life charismatic leader who would destroy so many.

It follows Evelyn as she is pulled into Jones’s orbit — an orbit it would prove impossible for her to leave.
