Description

'The Spell of Morpheus - a story of women and drugs in one New Zealand town' was adapted by author Julia Sutherland from her psychology thesis while a PhD student at Otago University. She describes the novel as "a journey in and out of a fairytale", and she based the book around the extended interviews that she made with 10 women from the Methadone Clinic. The subtext of the novel is concerned with the incongruities of current legislation, and the morality and hypocrisy of what's legal and what's not.
