Enter for your chance to Win one of 5 x Dice books by Claire Baylis.
A compelling courtroom drama, Dice is an incredibly timely exploration of how sexual violence is viewed in our society.
'Dice has a forensic depth that is compelling, that challenges and deeply moves the reader. But what sets this novel apart is the precision and power of the writing. This is fiction that doesn't want to be journalism, it affirms the truth and nuance and possibility of imagination.' Christos Tsiolkas, author of The Slap
Four teenage boys invent a sex game based on the toss of a dice.
The police charge them with multiple sexual offences against three teenage girls.
Twelve jurors must work out what actually happened.
How does the jury find?
Dice is a stunning courtroom drama told from the perspective of a diverse group of ordinary people - the jury. How will twelve women and men of different ages, backgrounds and beliefs decide whether consent was given or crimes were committed?
In this dazzlingly accomplished and gripping debut novel, the story is told through the eyes of each juror as the trial unfolds and evidence is presented, withheld, fragmented and retold by different witnesses.
Will the verdict deliver justice or punish the innocent? Where does the truth lie?
