'The year is 1986, Guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh has been exiled from the United States after the highly scandalous failure of his Oregon ashram, Rajneeshpuram. Told from four different perspectives and through various time jumps, Zorba the Buddha documents how this movement fell apart from the inside out. Each character’s experience sheds light on the attractive qualities of the movement’s Master, as well as their individual struggles to follow his commands and align their faith with his teachings. A truly compelling read, Katerina Cosgrove’s novella and reflective essay give insight into the true events that began in Oregon and ended in Crete' (Publication summary)

'THE GLASS HEART is a rich, powerful and erotic story, pieced together from fragments of failing memory and seen through the eyes of a young Greek-Australian narrator, travelling in the land of the past. Exquisitely written, THE GLASS HEART explores the burden of family and the binds of love through the relationship between the narrator's grandmother and a man whose failure to satisfy her on her wedding night set the tone for the years to come. Although ostensibly about the jealousies and regrets that colour the narrator's family history, THE GLASS HEART reveals almost as much about the narrator herself. In doing so, it shows how our characters are shaped and coloured by the stories of our ancestors whether we like it or not. ' (Publication summary)
