The must-read memoir that's changing the world: the empowering true story of surviving abuse and fighting for justice.
‘If books can shape history, this is one.’ DAILY MAIL
‘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
The world knows Virginia Roberts Giuffre as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most outspoken victim: the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison, whose photograph with Prince Andrew catalyzed his fall from grace. This is her story.
In April 2025, Giuffre took her own life. She left behind a memoir written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. Nobody’s Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront extraordinary adversity.
Here, Giuffre offers an unsparing and definitive account of her time with Epstein and Maxwell, who trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men. She also details the molestation she suffered as a child, as well as her daring escape from Epstein and Maxwell’s grasp at nineteen. Giuffre remade her life from scratch and summoned the courage to waive anonymity and not only hold her abusers to account but also advocate for other victims. The pages of Nobody’s Girl preserve her voice—and her legacy—forever.
Nobody’s Girl is an astonishing affirmation of Giuffre’s unshakable will—first, to claw her way out of victimhood, and then to shine light on wrongdoing and fight for a safer, fairer world. Equal parts intimate and fierce, it is a remarkable narrative of fortitude in the face of depravity and despair.
‘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
· ‘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
