Nobody's Girl

The book no-one should have to write but we all have to read. 'If books can shape history, this is one.' DAILY MAIL '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 This is the extraordinarily powerful memoir by the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the inspirational woman who stood up and spoke out about serial abusers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and how they trafficked her, and others, to some of the world's richest, most powerful men. '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 This is Virginia's story, in her own words. A story that has never been told in full before now. Virginia Roberts Giuffre is the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison and whose photograph with Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, catalysed his fall from grace. In April 2025, Virginia took her own life. She left behind a memoir written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. Her story demonstrates with extraordinary power that victims are made, not born. And that once you come to truly understand the horrifying impact of abuse, you will never again question why a victim stays, or returns over and over again. Nobody's Girl is a remarkable recounting of one woman's fortitude in the face of depravity and despair, and the legacy she leaves behind. First and foremost, Virginia Roberts Guiffre is a voice of courage and resilience for women #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER · 'Takes us into unimaginable realms of human suffering ...devastating.' THE TIMES · 'This astonishing book left me reaching for breath.' JULIET NICOLSON · Startling ... demands that we read with caution, discretion and sensitivity.' INDEPENDENT · 'The most important (but, honestly, the most traumatic) book I've read all year. As painful as this book is to read, please, please do.' SAM BAKER, THE SHIFT · It is a personal triumph that [Virginia Roberts Giuffre] chose to speak up and a tragedy that doing so came at such cost. OBSERVER · 'Nobody's Girl is not just a memoir - it's a template for how difficult it is for victims who have been abused once to escape the cycle.' NEW STATESMAN
