Wendy Davis was attacked by the Claremont Serial Killer and survived. This is her story. In 2020, after the longest and most expensive trial in Western Australian history, Bradley Robert Edwards was convicted of two of the Claremont Serial Killings, a series of unsolved murders that had haunted the state since the mid-1990s. But before he went to trial, before he started killing, Edwards violently assaulted a social worker while he was working on the telephone system at Hollywood Hospital. Not only did Edwards keep his job at Telstra, but he was convicted only of common assault for the attack, a minor charge that left him off the police radar during their desperate hunt for the sexual predator responsible for the Claremont murders. Begun as way to deal with the resurgence of trauma after Edwards' arrest, this memoir looks at the pressure on women to minimise and excuse certain behaviours in others, and demonstrates the devastating consequences of not making a fuss.… (plus d'informations)

A significant book. As a West Australian I'm well aware of the horrors of the Claremont Serial Killer, and I've tried to avoid anything prurient or sensational (I've met the parents of one of the victims socially). However in this memoir Wendy Davis tells of how she was assaulted by the killer, years before he progressed to murder, and how this assault was minimised by his employer (Telecom) and the police. She tells of how the arrest and trial of Edwards brought her back into the case, how it caused her to relive her assault, to follow the trial, (at cost of great emotional upset) and finally get to give her evidence in public. An important message that victims' stories must be heard. ( )
