Description

The Sunday Times bestseller and a BBC Radio 4 ‘Book of the Week‘

Full of hilarious and shocking stories, the Secret Barrister s memoir Nothing But The Truth tracks their transformation from hang em and flog em austerity-supporter to celebrated, campaigning, bestselling author.

Masterful, compassionate and hilarious – Adam Rutherford

In a diary that takes us behind the scenes of their middling ambition, Nothing But The Truth 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.
_____

‘Words tumble out with extraordinary fluency . . . entertaining and instructive’ – The Times
‘Written with compassion, wit and intelligence’ – TLS
‘Excellent . . . at once a vicious polemic, a helpful primer and a cringe-inducing account of one barrister s travails – The Telegraph
