Prima Facie by Suzie Miller –Tessa is a young, super-intelligent barrister, who has risen from a working-class background. She is currently at the top of her game. With great skill, she defends and cross-examines in court and dispels any shadows of doubt in every case she tackles. Playing the law as if a game, she is its most gifted player.
One loathsome night, however, Tessa unwittingly discovers herself in a position countless women, (in fact, one in three), have found themselves in before her.
She is now faced with a gut-wrenching, life-changing decision. Should she take the stand to testify, regarding her sexual violation, with the absolute cognisance that the justice system has not been lawfully constructed to provide the protection it owes her?
Drawn from the internationally acclaimed play, Prima Facie is a brilliantly crafted novel. It not only opens a can of worms regarding the sexual abuse of women, but also dissects and discovers flaws in the current laws, which need to be changed for the improved outcome of all women who have suffered at the hands of evil men!
