SHE SAID is the story of the investigation that Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, Pulitzer prize-winning reporters for the New York Times, led when they broke the news of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual harassment and assault.
Published by Penguin books and reviewed by Debi O’Neille.
Though most of my reviews have been on fiction, this book is the true story of two brave and determined reporters covering what many did not want told. The book includes private interviews, off-the-record information, and facts of the turmoil many women suffered during and since their victimization.
Parts of this novel literally made me sick to my stomach, and yet I never doubted a word of it. SHE SAID is hard to read because each disgusting and horrifying event mentioned really happened. Much of it angered me, as I’m sure it will you, but don’t turn away from reading it. It’s history. It’s important. Only by knowing facts can we begin to understand how to reshape our futures.
Hopeful reading!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll buy it for my daughter instead of for myself. :-) I'm always short of sleep the way it is without adding nightmares to the mix.
DeleteIt's time for these things to stop, and they won't until such truth comes out.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely right.
