LONGLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 'Powerful, vivid and affecting' DAVID NICHOLLS 'Urgent, necessary and courageous' ELIZABETH DAY 'Brilliantly unsettling' GUARDIAN 'Will make you think about trauma in a new light' EVENING STANDARD 'I understand – and sympathise with – the feeling you might have that you already know the Jeffrey Epstein story. But I am not here to tell you a story about Jeffrey Epstein, or even Ghislaine Maxwell. I am here to tell you the stories of ten women, many of whom have never spoken at length before, about the real impact of sexual trauma on their lives' In November 2021, Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of five counts of sex-trafficking of minors, and now faces twenty years in prison for the role she played in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of four girls. The trial was meticulously covered by journalist and legal reporter Lucia Osborne-Crowley, one of the only reporters allowed into the courtroom every day. The Lasting Harm is her account of that trial, a gripping true crime drama and a blistering critique of a criminal justice system ill-equipped to deliver justice for abuse survivors, no matter the outcome. Giving voice to four women and their testimonies, and supplemented by exclusive interviews, The Lasting Harm brings this incendiary trial to life, questions our age-old appetite for crime and punishment and offers a new blueprint for meaningful reparative justice. In The Lasting Harm, Osborne-Crowley presents a feminist critique of societal corruption and misconduct. This non-fiction book is a top choice for those interested in law, gender violence, and the political landscape. For fans of Leslie Jamison (Make It Scream, Make It Burn), Andrew O'Hagan (The Illuminations), Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), Bell Hooks (All About Love), and Akwaeke Emezi (Dear Senthuran).
