The extraordinarily powerful and unforgettable memoir by the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the woman who stood up and spoke out about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell


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. But her story has never been told in full, in her own words—until now.

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 not only hold her abusers to account but also advocate for other victims. The narrative 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.

Critic Reviews

One of the best books of 2025: This may well be the most seismic book of the year.
A heartbreaking book but a really important read. (Lorraine Kelly)
One of the best biographies of 2025: A sobering, compelling account of a woman who was determined to reclaim her story.

Nobody’s Girl is both devastating and uplifting. It tells the story of how easily a life can be snapped in half by powerful abusers - and the enormous pain it takes to rebuild a broken human soul . But it’s also a tale of justice , what can be achieved when a woman refuses to be silenced, refuses to be blamed. And is willing to call out the complicity of evil around us.
Virginia’s voice soars throughout this memoir - fearless and frank - angry and empowering. It speaks to the thousands of other victims out there about how to start fighting back.

(Emily Maitlis, journalist, broadcaster, author)
This astonishing book left me reaching for breath …it is impossible to forget the glare of Virginia Giuffre’s headlight exposure of an iniquitous abuse system that can exist and destroy within plain sight. And it is impossible to ignore the urgency of Giuffre’s rallying cry to us all to unsilence the secret code of self-protection wielded by the powerful, the rich and the regal. (Juliet Nicolson, author of The Book of Revelation)
A devastating exposé of power, corruption and abuse ... lays bare the life-wrecking impact of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes – but it is also the story of how a young woman becomes a hero ... important, courageous, tragically posthumous (Emma Brockes)
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)
Startling ... It feels somewhat like a chance to testify both on the shocking events that shaped her life and the struggles she faced before death ... Nobody's Girl demands that we read with caution, discretion and sensitivity. (Micha Frazer-Carroll)
By retelling from her own perspective, the salacious details of what became tabloid headlines ... Instead she shows the reader the stark truth of who she was then ... It is a personal triumph that she chose to speak up and a tragedy that doing so came at such cost. (Stephanie Merritt)
Takes us into unimaginable realms of human suffering ...devastating. (Sarah Ditum)

The sheer courage to share such a traumatic story is remarkable. When most people would never speak about the horrors of the past, I admire Virginia for speaking out and calling the criminal behaviour of her very powerful and wealthy abusers. The abusers not named know who they are and I hope their world comes crashing down soon.

Brave, sad and true
