THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING MEMOIR THAT KICKSTARTED ANDREW MOUNTBATTEN’S FALL FROM GRACE***A WATERSTONES PAPERBACK OF THE YEAR 2026***‘If books can shape history, this is one.’ Daily Mail** WINNER OF THE OVERALL BOOK OF THE YEAR, BEST NARRATIVE NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR AND FREEDOM TO PUBLISH AWARD AT THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS 2026 **The book that's changing the world. An empowering true story of surviving abuse and fighting for justice.Now with a new afterword by Virginia's collaborator, Amy Wallace.In April 2025, Virginia Roberts Giuffre took her own life. Known as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most outspoken victim, she left behind a memoir and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. An unsparing and definitive account of her time trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell and her subsequent daring escape, Nobody’s Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront extraordinary adversity.An astonishing affirmation of Giuffre’s unshakable will—first, to claw her way out of victimhood, and then to fight for a safer, fairer world for others—the book is testament to her bravery in holding her abusers to account. Equal parts intimate and fierce, it is a remarkable narrative of fortitude in the face of depravity and despair. The pages of Nobody’s Girl preserve her voice—and her legacy—forever.Praise for Nobody’s Girl‘Both devastating and uplifting . . . fearless and frank – angry and empowering. It speaks to the thousands of other victims out there about how to start fighting back.’ Emily Maitlis‘Takes us into unimaginable realms of human suffering . . . devastating.’ The Times‘Startling . . . demands that we read with caution, discretion and sensitivity.’ Independent‘It is a personal triumph that [Virginia Roberts Giuffre] chose to speak up and a tragedy that doing so came at such cost.’ Observer‘Make no mistake: this is a book about power, corruption, industrial-scale sex abuse and the way in which institutions sided with the perpetrator over his victims . . . But it is also a book about how a young woman becomes a hero . . . Important [and] courageous.’ Guardian

    Mycket välskriven. Tragiskt öde Kämpar sig igenom hela boken beskriver verkligheten bra Förstår inte att hon orkade så länge. Stöttande man och så småningom barnen
    RIP 🧙‍♀️

  2. 5/5 Maria

    Boken tydliggör hur förövare av minderåriga kan operera. Författarens liv sedan hon utsattes för övergrepp i sin familj har varit fokuserad på överlevnad och boken beskriver detta på ett tydligt sätt. Det hon varit utsatt för har tagit ut sin rätt i henne både fysiskt och psykiskt. Hennes kämpande för upprättelse har varit lång och enveten. När man sedan vet att hon till slut tagit sitt liv blir det också tydligt hur svårt det kan vara att läka på djupet när man varit utsatt. En bok som berör och som är mycket läsvärd.
