'Compelling and human . . . a political rallying cry' New York Times
'Bold, fearless and heartbreaking' Elle Magazine
'It has been an absolute joy to return to Tessa's story . . . My hope is that it will reach the widest number of people . . . I've personally enjoyed delving into her story again' Jodie Comer

'Miller's star shines as brightly as a novelist as it does as a playwright. Prima Facie the novel gives us what novels do: the intimacy of interior life. A great read' Anna Funder
From the Olivier award-winning playwright of Prima Facie Suzie Miller comes her first novel, where power, patriarchy and morality diverge.
'This is not life. This is law.'
Tessa Ensler is a brilliant barrister who's forged her career in criminal defence through sheer determination. Since her days at Cambridge, she's carefully disguised her working class roots in a male-dominated world where who you know is just as important as what you know. Driven by her belief in the right to a fair trial and a taste for victory, there's nothing Tessa loves more than the thrill of getting her clients acquitted.
It seems like Tessa has it made when she is approached for a new job and nominated for the most prestigious award in her field. But when a date with a charismatic colleague goes horribly wrong, Tessa finds that the rules she's always played by might not protect her, forcing her to question everything she's ever believed in . . .
