Constance Briscoe Libri
Constance Briscoe è un'ex avvocatessa la cui scrittura approfondisce temi di giustizia e diritto. Il suo lavoro esplora spesso le complessità della natura umana e i dilemmi morali affrontati dai suoi personaggi. Briscoe impiega uno stile acuto e analitico per scoprire verità più profonde sulla società e sugli individui. La sua scrittura sfida i lettori a considerare questioni di etica e responsabilità.
Constance's mother systematically abused her daughter, both physically and emotionally, throughout her childhood. Regularly beaten and starved, the girl was so desperate she took herself off to Social Services and tried to get taken into care. When that failed, she swallowed bleach 'because it kills all known germs and my mother always told me I was a germ'. When Constance was thirteen, her mother simply moved out, leaving her daughter to fend for herself: there was no gas, no electricity and no food. But somehow Constance found the courage to survive her terrible start in life. This is her heartrending - and ultimately triumphant - story.
