<b>The <i>Sunday Times</i> bestseller and a BBC Radio 4 ‘Book of the Week‘</b>
Full of hilarious and shocking stories, the Secret Barrister's memoir <i>Nothing But The Truth</i> tracks their transformation from hang 'em and flog 'em austerity-supporter to celebrated, campaigning, bestselling author.
<b>'Masterful, compassionate and hilarious' </b>– <i>Adam Rutherford</i>
In a diary that takes us behind the scenes of their middling ambition, <i>Nothing But The Truth</i> charts an outsider's progress down the winding path towards practising at the Bar. By way of the painfully archaic traditions of the Inns of Court, where every meal mandates a glass of port and a toast to the monarch, and the Hunger Games-style contest for pupillage – which most don't survive – here is the brilliant reality of being a frustrated junior barrister.
With a keen eye for the absurd and an obsessive fondness for Twitter, SB reveals the uncomfortable truths and darkest secrets about life in our criminal courts.
