'Not many books can immediately draw you in, keep you up all night, and break your heart over and over again. But still you can't put it down. Can't look away. There are not enough superlatives for Suzie Miller's incendiary novel. Just read it.'
Heather Rose
An adaptation of the Olivier Award-winning play – a heartbreaking, nuanced look at the system's flaws when protecting sexual assault and rape survivors, through the eyes of a star defense attorney.
Tessa is a thoroughbred. A young, brilliant barrister from a working-class background now at the top of her game: defending, cross-examining and lighting up the shadows of doubt in any case. The law is a game and she is its most talented player.
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 striking drama ... Suzie Miller's text is pacy and punchy.'
The Independent
'A relevant and deeply disturbing indictment of how our legal system routinely fails sexual assault victims ... A seriously important work.'
