British Book Awards: Virginia Giuffre’s Memoir Wins Top Book Prize
The memoir also won Non-Fiction Narrative Book of the Year, with judges praising its account of alleged trafficking and abuse.
- On Monday, the British Book Awards named Nobody's Girl, a posthumous memoir by Virginia Giuffre and Amy Wallace, Book of the Year at a ceremony in London.
- Published six months after Giuffre died by suicide last year, the memoir details her encounters with late financier Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, including allegations involving Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
- Chair Alice O'Keeffe said judges 'championed' the memoir for its 'extraordinary courage and determination,' while Giuffre's sister-in-law Amanda Roberts called it 'a true testament to what a survivor's voice can do.'
- The win reflects the book's power to uphold a legacy amid recent Epstein files revelations, while the ceremony also honored American author Suzanne Collins for her Hunger Games prequel, Sunrise On The Reaping.
- Giuffre and Sarah Wynn-Williams jointly received the Freedom to Publish award, while the ceremony commemorated late authors Dame Jilly Cooper, Joanna Trollope, and Sophie Kinsella with special posthumous recognitions.
