Prima Facie by Suzie Miller (Signed Copy)

One sickening night, though, Tessa finds herself in a position countless women – one in three – have been in before her. And she’s faced with a gut-wrenching, life-changing decision. Will she take the stand to testify about her rape, with the full awareness that the system has not been built to protect her?

Drawn from the internationally acclaimed play, Prima Facie is a propulsive, raw look at the price victims pay for speaking out and the system that sets them up to fail. With breakneck prose and a devastating emotional intensity, this is a novel for our times, by one of Australia’s most impressive writers.

‘A fantastic read, page-turning and thought-provoking. The kind of story you can’t stop thinking about. I loved it.’ JANE HARPER
