Prima Facie : Based on the award-winning play starring Jodie Comer eAudiobook MP3

Brought to you by Penguin. This audiobook is narrated by Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, The Last Duel, The End We Start From), who won Best Actress in both the Tony and Olivier awards for her performance in the theatre production of Prima Facie.

Her performance in the play was lauded as "infusing breath-taking emotional drama into every word" (Guardian), with "tremendous skill and improbable stamina" (New York Times).

Here she returns to Tessa in this intimate and skilful performance. From the Olivier award-winning playwright of Prima Facie Suzie Miller comes her first novel, where power, patriarchy and morality diverge. ‘She played by the rules, but the rules are broken.'Tessa Ensler is a brilliant barrister who's forged her career in criminal defence through sheer determination.

Since her days at Cambridge, she’s carefully disguised her working class roots in a male-dominated world where who you know is just as important as what you know.

Driven by her belief in the right to a fair trial and a taste for victory, there’s nothing Tessa loves more than the thrill of getting her clients acquitted. It seems like Tessa has it made when she is approached for a new job and nominated for the most prestigious award in her field.

But when a date with a charismatic colleague goes horribly wrong, Tessa finds that the rules she’s always played by might not protect her, forcing her to question everything she's ever believed in…“It has been an absolute joy to return to Tessa’s story whilst recording this audiobook.

My hope is that it will reach the widest number of people, perhaps who weren’t able to see the play.

I’ve personally enjoyed delving into her story again and am excited for audiences to experience this further exploration gifted to us by the wonderful Suzie Miller.” Jodie Comer'Enthralling and sharp-witted . . . Highly recommended' Karin Slaughter'Bold, fearless, heartbreakingly timeless.

Written with skill, humour, despair and hope, Prima Facie is a deeply rewarding, absolute must read' Chris Whitaker©2024 Suzie Miller (P)2024 Penguin Audio
