A memoir by Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most high-profile accusers, will be published later this year following her death in April.
She died on 25 April, a month after suffering serious injuries in an accident. She had lived in Australia for several years with her husband and children.
Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, written with journalist Amy Wallace, is due to be released on 21 October by Alfred A Knopf. The 400-page book was completed before Giuffre took her own life at her farm in Western Australia.
Giuffre, who alleged she had been trafficked for sex to Prince Andrew, settled with the Duke of York in 2022 after suing him for sexual assault. The prince has consistently denied her claims.
In an email sent to Wallace on 1 April, 25 days before her death, Giuffre expressed her wish that the memoir be published regardless of her circumstances. “The content of this book is crucial, as it aims to shed light on the systemic failures that allow the trafficking of vulnerable individuals across borders,” she wrote. “It is imperative that the truth is understood and that the issues surrounding this topic are addressed, both for the sake of justice and awareness.”
About Giuffre memoir
Knopf said the book contains “intimate, disturbing, and heartbreaking new details” about her experiences with Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their associates, including Prince Andrew. It will also mark the first time Giuffre has spoken publicly about the prince since the settlement.
Jordan Pavlin, editor-in-chief at Knopf, described the memoir as “raw and shocking”, calling it “the story of a fierce spirit struggling to break free”.
Knopf stressed that Nobody’s Girl had been “vigorously fact-checked and legally vetted”. The publisher declined to provide further details about which associates of Epstein are named in the book, but confirmed Giuffre made “no allegations of abuse against Donald Trump”.
