THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING MEMOIR

'Incredibly moving and haunting' Roxane Gay
'I read this book cover to cover and it stunned me' Jia Tolentino
'Powerful, honest and necessary' Marian Keyes

'To girls everywhere, I am with you. On nights when you feel alone, I am with you. When people doubt you or dismiss you, I am with you. I fought every day for you. So never stop fighting, I believe you.'

Chanel Miller's story changed our world forever. In 2016 Brock Turner was sentenced to just six months in jail after he was caught sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus. His light sentencing, and Chanel's victim impact statement, which was read by eleven million people in four days, sparked international outrage and action.

Know My Name is an intimate, profoundly moving memoir that exposes a patriarchal culture biased to protect perpetrators, a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable, and ultimately shines with the courage required to move through suffering and live a full and beautiful life. Entwining pain, resilience, and humour, this breath-taking memoir will stand as a modern classic.

'I could not put this phenomenal book down' Glennon Doyle, bestselling author of UNTAMED

'To read Know My Name inspires hope' Guardian

'A searing, beautiful book' Sunday Times

'Know My Name marks the debut of a gifted young writer. Miller's words are purpose. They are maps. And she is a treasure who has prevailed' New York Times

unbedingt hören! Die Geschichte die durch die Medien ging und nun endlich die wichtigste Stimme dazu, die uns alle zum Nachdenken bringt. Spannend, bewegend, und wichtig! so wichtig. sollte Pflichtlektüre an jeder Schule werden.

berührend, sehr intelligent, ein MUSS!

The further the book progresses, the more I was left with the impression that nothing is ever truly enough. The conviction is not enough, the sentence is not enough, his remorse is not enough, his apology is not enough. The case receives enormous public attention, her story is heard and moves countless people, and yet even that still does not seem to be enough, because the system itself is ultimately presented as fundamentally flawed.

Chanel Miller has every right to find his apology unconvincing and the sentence too lenient. What increasingly bothered me, however, was the way her personal perspective begins to feel almost like the measure of when justice has been achieved. A criminal case must eventually be allowed to come to an end. Guilt should have consequences, but punishment cannot depend on whether the victim ever reaches the point of feeling that it was enough.

Never Enough
