Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. There are memoirs that burst through the door waving scandal like a flag. Inside Out appears to have taken one look at that option, closed the door quietly, and decided to write about the actual consequences instead, which is terribly inconvenient for anyone hoping for champagne, gossip, downfall, and a few names dropped tastefully into the carpet. Rosie Johnston?s book comes out of the Oxford drugs case of 1986, one of those episodes in which the British press discovered, with theatrical horror, that young people, privilege, drugs, death, friendship, class and moral panic could all be placed in the same sentence and sold briskly before breakfast. The tabloids had their story. Society had its shudder. Everyone with an opinion took up a position. Somewhere inside the noise, real people had to keep existing. Inside Out is Johnston?s account of prison from the point of view of a female first offender: not a hardened criminal memoir, not a swaggering underworld confession, not a ?you won?t believe what happened behind bars? entertainment package with a lurid cover and a lawyer hovering nearby. It is something quieter and probably more useful: an attempt to describe what it is like when the machinery of shame, law, punishment and everyday survival closes around a person who never imagined herself as material for a prison sentence. The title does excellent work. Prison turns life inside out. Privacy becomes procedure. Ordinary choices become permissions. Time, previously squandered in the usual civilian way, becomes something counted, portioned and watched. The self one had been wearing in public no longer fits. Family, friends, guilt, fear, boredom, humiliation, routine, small kindnesses and small brutalities all rearrange themselves under fluorescent light. A sentence is not just a number of months; it is a change in weather. Johnston writes against the easy appetite for spectacle. That is the odd bravery of the book. The sensational version practically wrote itself: Oxford, drugs, death, youth, class, headlines, punishment. But Inside Out seems more interested in what comes after the headline has done its work and gone home. What happens to a person waiting for sentence? What happens to her family? What does prison feel like if you arrive not as a symbol but as a frightened individual with a name, a body, and no useful experience of institutional life beyond perhaps school corridors and government forms? There is a grim comedy in the idea that society loves ?justice? most when it can also enjoy a bit of theatre. Public disgrace is very efficient. It turns private disaster into a moral object lesson, then invites everyone else to feel improved by watching. Johnston?s account pushes back against that flattening. It does not ask to be excused from consequence; it asks the reader to notice consequence properly, without the ornamental cruelty that so often gets mistaken for seriousness. This Michael Joseph copy is in Good condition, which feels apt for a book that has plainly had to live in the real world rather than the clean imaginary one where judgement is simple and consequences are tidy. Crappy Old Books offers it for readers of memoir, true crime without the shouting, prison writing, legal/social history, and anyone interested in the strange British talent for turning tragedy into a headline and then pretending the headline was the whole truth.…

A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title. Author: Chris Johnston Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 288 The apocalyptic group The Family and their guru, Anne Hamilton-Byrne - one of very few female cult leaders in history - captured international headlines throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Hamilton-Byrne, who some followers believed was Jesus Christ, was glamorous and charismatic - and, many allege, very dangerous. From her base in a quiet suburb, she recruited wealthy professionals to join her cult, including doctors, lawyers, nurses, architects, and scientists. She acquired children and raised them as her own, bleaching their hair blonde to make them look like siblings, and her group became surrounded by rumours of LSD use, child abuse, and strange spiritual rituals. In 1987, police swooped on The Family's lakeside compound and rescued children who claimed they were part of Anne's future master race. The children recounted terrible stories of near starvation, emotional manipulation, and physical abuse. But Anne could not be found, sparking an international police hunt. Could they bring Anne to justice? How did such a notorious group come to flourish? How did Anne maintain a hold over her followers? Drawing on revelatory new research, including police files, diary entries, and interviews with survivors, The Family tells the strange and shocking story of one of the most bizarre cults in modern history. 'The Family is remarkably clear-sighted. The writers have a gift for temperate yet compelling prose that unflinchingly reveals the delusions and unreflective righteousness of much of what emerged from the counterculture. In this book, the best of what journalism should be - honest, unsentimental, incisive - is combined with the craft and storytelling skills of born writers.' -Christos Tsiolkas 'Harrowing but humane. An extraordinary story, impeccably researched.' -Martin McKenzie-Murray ' A compelling account of one of Australia's most notorious cults . The authors trace the extraordinary life of a woman who operated ''at the edges of human belief''.' -The Saturday Age. Paperback. …
