About this Event
Exclusive signing with author Lucia Osborne-Crowley (The Lasting Harm)
Join Aphra and The Hearth for an intimate event with acclaimed author Lucia Osborne-Crowley. Discover the process and stories behind this bestselling book The Lasting Harm: Witnessing The Trial of Ghislaine Maxwell. Molly Masters of Aphra will be in conversation with Lucia about her research and writing process, and how we create a safe space for women's stories, and find justice.
About the book:
In November 2021, Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of five counts of sex-trafficking of minors, and now faces 55 years in Pr*son 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 only four 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.
Centring the stories of four women and their testimonies and supplemented by extra material to which Osborne-Crowley has exclusive access, 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.
Mark your calendars for Friday 12 July 2024 ✨
'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.'
