Based on the internationally acclaimed play, Prima Facie is the story of a young criminal defense barrister named Tessa who finds herself in a position countless women – one in three – have been in before. As the realization that the system has not been built to protect her dawns, Tessa must decide if she will take the stand to testify.

 

Berkelouw staff member, Lauren, had this to say: “It has been a long time since I have been so OBSESSED with a book. A masterclass in suspense, dripping with the embers of fury that come with classism, sexism & power. Miller draws you into Tess’ world of the law and examines the concept of justice down to the marrow. This is my pick of 2023 and instantly in my top 5 books of all time. You will never stop thinking about Prima Facie.”

 

This is a free event. We look forward to seeing you for snacks, bookish conversations, and good company!
