'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 'Bold fearless heartbreakingly timeless. Written with
skill humour despair and hope Prima Facie is a deeply rewarding absolute must read' Chris
Whitaker 'Enthralling and sharp-witted . . . Highly recommended' Karin Slaughter '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 . .
