'Melbourne writer Laura Elizabeth Woollett is talking about one of the worst men who ever lived, and also – because she can identify with her – the woman who became his mistress. The man was Jim Jones, the cult leader who ordered 918 people to kill themselves in Jonestown, Guyana. The woman was Carolyn Layton, a California woman who became his lover and enabler.'
