Welcome to Litsy!

I read this novel two days after the election & it was powerful enough to momentarily keep my mind off of my despair. Sadly, it highlights a different illness of a culture that doesn‘t honor or believe women when it comes to reporting a rape. A successful attorney moving up in the court system finds herself on the other side of the bar, attempting to hold her rapist accountable.This story was first a play & the novel expands the story. Brilliant.

A brilliant and extremely painful book that touches me deeply. It‘s short, it‘s a play for a solo actor.
It‘s the story of Tessa, a successful barrister who is one day confronted with the patriarchal power of the law.
I can‘t believe law still works like that. And I do believe Tessa‘s story. Every man should read this book or see this play.

So in your face and so true.

I am reading Keep it in the Family, which is super scary. Next will be the tagged, of which I‘ve heard such good things. Only I think I maybe grabbed the wrong version, as this is not the novel but the play?
Last but not least a Salman Rushdie, who I haven‘t read for years even though he used to be my favorite author.

Thank you so much for the gifts @TrishB and @squirrelbrain . I was good and saved them ❤️

This isn‘t published until 14th March in the UK but @MicheleinPhilly convinced me to read it out of #netgalley date order, and I‘m so glad she did.

I knew the premise before I started and I was breathless for the first part, waiting for ‘the thing‘ to happen, and then devoured the second part, wishing for a conclusion but not wanting it to end. And I cried at the end too.

I wish I‘d seen the play with Jodie Comer…

Wow! What can I say about this book. I guess first I'll start with the trigger warnings- explicit sexual conduct, issues regarding sexual assault and consent. This book will have contemplating and asking questions about is right and what is just. Extremely powerful, yet so many mixed emotions entangled with it. It's a must read! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thank you #netgalley for the ARC for my honest review. I listened to the audiobook, Narrator was AMAZING!

I read this novelization of Suzie Miller‘s 1 woman show in a single sitting yesterday. Intense doesn‘t even begin to describe it. I was fortunate to have seen the play on Broadway and this expands on that, giving larger roles to Tessa‘s mum, brother, friends and co-workers. But this is still very much Tessa‘s story. Her heartbreak, fear, and RAGE are palpable. Highly recommended but please tread carefully.

It‘s been a quiet day ‘round here, after the excitement of our 95th Birthday Bash on Thursday! Just enough visitors in Children‘s not to make me feel like I‘m in solitary, but mostly, I‘m reading and sipping. (But y‘all, what IS IT with the trend of not using quotation marks?????) 🤷🏻‍♀️💖 #primafacie #suziemiller

Jodie Comer was amazing as the unpredictable assassin in Killing Eve.So her next step is a one woman show?An intense look how women are often failed by the law in regards to sexual assault.From shows in Australia, Londons West End to Broadway.
