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.

BarbaraBB What a book, right? I read the play and was blown away ❤️‍🩹 5d

Suet624 @sarahbarnes Just so you know, Barbara and I agree 95% on books. 😊 I haven‘t read the play and I think that might pack even more of a wallop. (edited) 5d
BarbaraBB I was sure you‘d love it 🩷 and am sure too that you will @sarahbarnes ! 5d
HardcoverHearts I did the audiobook and it was read by the actress who had the role in the stage play, Jodie Comer. She was fantastic. 5d

I found what I read about Roy Cohn to be interesting, I also did my own research as well. I really want to know what happened to his wife. I tried to see if he had gotten divorced at one point but couldn‘t find any information anywhere. I‘m more interested as to when he contracted HIV and if he could have passed it to his wife. I would assume he did not, but it is interesting. #thedivider #roycohn #lgbtqhistory #history #donaldtrump #law

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.

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.

MrsMalaprop Saw the play performed recently. It was 🔥. And yes there is a book and play version. 1mo
BarbaraBB @MrsMalaprop Thanks for clearing that up. I hope the play is as good as the novel 🤞🏽 1mo
squirrelbrain The play is the original version - the novel came later. 1mo

“…In a solidarity union, the worker shares his or her grievance with a committee of co-workers. They decide together on a course of direct action to right the wrong, which the workers will lead. The workers thereby harness their own power and creativity rather than depending on ‘professionals.‘ Business unions sometimes say to members, ‘You are the union.‘ In a solidarity union, that proposition is true.”
