PRIMA FACIE by Suzie Miller This is the novel adaptation of the successful one woman play by the author. This was a difficult, but important story to read. Tessa Ensler has come from humble beginnings and is now a talented criminal defense barrister for the Crown Court in London, England. She has won many of her cases and she prides herself on being able to pick apart the defendant’s testimony. After she’s assaulted by a coworker, she realizes the judicial system she’s proudly serving is deeply flawed. I do have one minor caveat with the formatting as typical quotation marks and such weren’t utilized which made the story and dialogue annoying to read. Despite that, I did enjoy this book and recommend it. One in three women. Chances are *you* are the one of three. Or you know someone who is. The conviction rates in these cases are extremely low which is a heartbreakingly brutal statistic. This story has a powerful and compelling message that shouldn’t be overlooked.
