Talk about a book that reflects what's in the headlines this month! This is a story about privilege and rape and treatment of women. I'm sure when the author wrote the book she wasn't aware of how timely it would be.
Kate is a barrister in London and has the opportunity to try a very headline grabbing case - that of a high profile politician (and one of the PMs best friends) and one of the members of his staff who claims that he raped her. They had been having a consensual affair but after it was over, he attacked her on an elevator - according to her story. According to him, the encounter on the elevator was wanted by both of them. Also tied up in the story is James' wife Sophie who has to decide who to believe and if she should 'stand by her man'. Who knows the real truth - Kate or James or Sohpie? or is the real truth somewhere in-between.
Thanks to Bookish First for a copy of this book to read and review. All opinions are my own.
