A daughter. A cult. A wild unravelling. Lily Dunn reads from her compelling memoir, Sins of My Father . 

When Lily was just six years old, her father left the family home to follow his guru to India for the promise of enlightenment with the cult of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Since then he has been a mystery to her. In her quest to understand him, she asks how we can reconcile unconditional love with irreparable damage.

‘I was obsessed. A memoir which combines the emotional and the cerebral in telling the story of a life through the prism of a father’s influence… a victory of self-knowledge and compassion.’ – Amy Liptrot 

Sins of My Father is published by Orion Books. We recommend buying from your local indie or you can get it from our shop at Bookshop.org.
