Perfect for you if...

  • You're interested in true crime but want to hear directly from someone at the centre of a high-profile case, not just media speculation.
  • You appreciate memoirs that grapple with injustice and how people rebuild after trauma.
  • You've seen the Netflix documentary and want the full, unfiltered account from Knox herself.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for a straightforward crime procedural with courtroom drama and detective work.
  • You prefer memoirs that focus on triumph and inspiration rather than the messy reality of wrongful imprisonment.
  • You've already formed strong opinions about Knox's guilt or innocence and aren't open to her perspective.

About this book

In 2007, Amanda Knox, a 20-year-old college student from Seattle, traveled to Italy to study abroad. Her life changed when her roommate was murdered in their shared apartment. Following a controversial trial, Knox was convicted and imprisoned. In 2011, an appeals court overturned her conviction and vacated the murder charge, leading to her release and return to the United States. Waiting to Be Heard is Knox's account of her four years in a foreign prison for a crime she did not commit. Drawing on journals she kept while in Italy, the memoir details her experience of the crime, trial, imprisonment, and eventual vindication. Knox describes the support of family and friends who worked toward her freedom, and reflects on her ordeal with what she characterizes as intelligence, grace, and candor. The book includes 24 pages of color photographs.
