Description
Vanessa Springora's memoir, Consent, is a powerful and devastating account of her stolen adolescence. Thirty years after the events, Springora, now in her forties, has decided to reclaim her story, laying bare the cultural attitudes and circumstances that enabled a fourteen-year-old girl to become involved with a fifty-year-old man. This memoir recalls the experiences of a young girl who was exploited and abused, and the impact this had on her life. Springora's painstaking account is a testament to the power of speaking out and reclaiming one's own story.
