Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 672 pages. Researching and writing this book often felt like the literary equivalent of a solo crossing of Antarctica. Lynley Hood A City Possessed is a strong, compelling and shocking stor y about one of New Zealand's most high-profile criminal cases - a story of child abuse allegations, gender politics and the law. I n detailing the events and debates leading up to and surrounding the Christchurch Civic Creche case, Lynley Hood shows how such a case could happen, and why. Her penetrating analysis of the socia l and legal processes by which the conviction of Peter Ellis was obtained, and has been repeatedly upheld, has far-reaching implic ations - not only for our justice system, but for the way in whic h we see ourselves. Ms Hood is clearly interested in the truth, and in careful research, rather than holding a view and sticking with it through thick and thin. This is an important book - clea rly written, well-researched, assiduously referenced, and a compe lling read. Dr Alison Jones, Director of the Institute for Resear ch on Gender, University of Auckland Hood says that when it com es to the Ellis case, and the manner in which those accused of se xual abuse of children are dealt with generally, grave injustices are and have been perpetrated. Much in this case went haywire. T he result is a book that will elicit strong responses; outrage an d bewilderment among them. Brian Turner, poet and publishing cons ultant This book is a work of scholarship of the highest academ ic standard. The interpretation is a very important one, and one that is clearly supported by the evidence. Professor Mark Henagha n, Dean of Law, University of Otago. Editorial Reviews About th e Author Researching and writing A City Possessed began with the question: What did or didn't happen at the Christchurch Civic Cre che?' My seven-year search for answers took me far beyond the cre che case and far beyond my personal comfort zone. I found myself digging through layer upon layer of unsuspected cover-up and unim agined scandal. Lynley Hood's previous books are Sylvia! The Bi ography of Sylvia Ashton-Warner, winner of the 1989 Wattie Book o f the Year and the PEN Best First Book of Prose; Who is Sylvia? T he Diary of a Biography; and Minnie Dean: Her Life and Crimes, a finalist in the New Zealand Book Awards. Lynley Hood held the Rob ert Burns Fellowship at the University of Otago in 1991. She is a parent of three adult children and grandparent of one. She hol ds a MSc in Physiology, has been active in several voluntary orga nizations concerned with parenting and early childhood issues, an d has written many articles and delivered numerous lectures to sc ientific, medical and lay audiences on various health issues. </d iv.
