Lucia Osborne-Crowley is a writer and journalist. Her news reporting and literary work has appeared in Granta, the Sunday Times, HuffPost UK, the Guardian, ABC News, Meanjin, The Lifted Brow and others. Lucia works as a staff reporter for Law360. I Choose Elena is her first book. Her second book, My Body Keeps Your Secrets: Dispatches on Shame and Reclamation, was published on 2 September 2021.
Startlingly intelligent, disturbing, profound and moving, I Choose Elena shows us that the #MeToo movement has grown roots, and that for survivors of rape and sexual assault, the revolution is just beginning. Osborne-Crowley gives us darkness wrought in light and the hope she offers is as palpable as it is hard-won. April Ayers Lawson, author, Virgin and Other Stories Beautiful and sad and moving and too real in the finest way. --Irish Times This book burrowed deep under my skin. A searing, potent testament to the vital necessity of articulation in the struggle for women to own their bodies and find a language to talk about violence and trauma. --Jessica Andrews, author, Saltwater Thank-you Lucia Osborne-Crowley for writing I Choose Elena, for your bold and precise testimony on the devastation of sexual violence, on the body's extraordinary and destructive compulsion to contain its own trauma. Every one of the insights you share is extremely hard-won, and I am so grateful to you for putting them into this incredible book. --Rosie Price, author, What Red Was A fierce, eloquent meditation on trauma, #MeToo, the body, pain and memory. --Sinead Gleeson, author, Constellations
