When Kasper is seven, his mother steals him away from London and takes him to India. His new life is dream-like: no formal education, the freedom to explore, and the mascot-like status the spiritual community confers on him. Then one day his mother is gone and Kasper must find his own path. Liftman is about the search for home, belonging, identity and truth.

Reviews for Liftman

"Raised in a cult - from which I barely escaped - I can wholeheartedly recommend Anthea Church's brilliant novel. In Liftman, we are shown how a young person's agency can be stolen to such an extent that the adult is in danger of living the rest of his life as a refugee in his own psyche."" EUGENE ROMAIN, Professional musician, husband, parent, teacher ""Liftman is a heart-wrenching insight into a world where beauty beguiles, and nothing is quite as it seems."" ANDREW HOGG, Former Sunday Times investigative journalist, co-author of Secret Cult"
