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 savior. Enter the Reverend Jim Jones, the dynamic leader of a 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’ orbit - an orbit it would prove impossible for her to leave.

The relentless immersion into this world does accumulate effectively but I got too judgmental and didn’t find myself empathizing as much as I might have.
I must add, the audio narration is so dreadful that I was put off from the start. He delivers the woman’s voice as though she were a complete airhead rather than a complex person and victim of her times. Also they weren’t freakin’ Australian, for goodness sakes. I think I had to recover from the audio before going back to just reading it.
Well researched and immersive
