The game of wit required to succeed as a barrister feeds her unlike anything else, and shes damn good at it. A scrappy girl who landed at Cambridge on full scholarship, she has worked tirelessly to make a name for herself in Londons elite chambers. Her masterful line of questioning in the courtroom has netted Tessa win after win, including freeing men accused of rape and sexual assault. As controversial as it is, this is her job its just about the facts and who can game the system.</p><p>Working late one night, Tessa falls into a casual relationship with a coworker, also an attorney, who comes from an elite, wealthy family. This lighthearted affair serves as a break from the long hours Tessa works, and she begins to wonder if perhaps there is a future for the two of them.</p><p>But one evening after drinking, they both end up in her bed, and after a brief but fitful sleep, Tessa gets sick in the bathroom. Thats when she begins to feel hands on her back. Shes ill and not entirely aware of whats happening, but suddenly she finds herself in a position countless women have. And shes faced with a gut-wrenching, career-changing decision: does she take the stand to testify about her rape, with the full awareness that the system has not been built to protect the victim? Does she become a witness in her own courtroom?</p><p>For fans of the film <em>Promising Young Woman</em>, and the bestselling <em>Women Talking</em> and <em>Valentine</em>, Suzie Millers <em>Prima Facie</em> is a propulsive, raw look at the legal system from the inside - the toll rape takes on a victim, and the antiquated legal parameters that prevent justice from being served.</p>...(*_*)9781250332516_<p>"Comer gets to go deeper with the role; this isnt a replication of her intrepid stage turn, but a continuation of it....Its a nimble, beautifully modulated performance, and a showcase for Comers facility with voices." <em><strong>The New York Times</strong></em></p><p><strong>This program is read by Jodie Comer (<em>Killing Eve</em>, <em>The Last Duel</em>, <em>The End We Start From</em>) who returns to her Tony and Olivier Awardwinning role in this audiobook edition of Suzie Millers <em>Prima Facie</em>. Reprising a stage performance hailed by <em>The Guardian</em> as "infusing breathtaking emotional drama into every word," Comers masterful narration brings Tessas story to life in this unforgettable program.</strong></p><p>"Comer, who won Olivier (London) and Tony (Broadway) awards for her 100-minute stage performance, returns for an electrifying nine-plus hours of audiobook narration. [She] exhibits extraordinary breadth, revealing the many Tessas throughout: vulnerable teen, stubborn achiever, self-doubter, steely Londoner, powerful prosecutor, bullied witness, [and] exhausted young woman."<strong>Booklist</strong></p><p><strong>Enthralling and sharp-witted...Highly recommended.</strong><br /><strong>Karin Slaughter, <em>New York Times</em> and #1 international bestselling author</strong></p><p><strong>Bold, fearless...<em>Prima Facie</em> is a deeply rewarding, absolute must read.<br />Chris Whitaker, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>We Begin at the End</em></strong></p><p><strong>This is not life, this is law</strong></p><p>Tessa Ensler loves her job. Shes worked her way up to being a top criminal defense barrister against all the odds, and fights to defend those pleading not guilty. Tessa believes in the law, believes in the system. Her quick-witted cross-examinations and intelligence in the courtroom see her clocking up win after win - including securing freedom for men accused of rape and sexual assault. Innocence until proven guilty is, after all, the bedrock of a civilized society.</p><p>But when Tessa is raped by a coworker, she struggles to find the strength to bring him to justice in the face of the barriers and opposition within that same system. Determined to have her day in court, Tessa is forced to confront the stark reality that the law was not written for victims, and that she is the one on trial. She fights on, even as her evidence is manipulated to make her look like a liar, even while she is retraumatized in the stand.</p><p>Based on the Olivier and Tony Award-winning play, Suzie Millers <em>Prima Facie</em> is an unforgettable story of what happens when a victim is asked to navigate a system that is not set up to accommodate the lived experience of sexual assault survivors.</p><p><strong>A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.</strong></p>...9781250332516_Macmillan Audioaudiolibro_e7fd4945-dff3-3dde-965f-d52a2e3ad804_9781250332516;9781250332516_9781250332516Suzie MillerInglésMéxico2024-01-30T00:00:00+00:00NoMINUTE2024-01-30T00:00:00+00:00Macmillan Audio
