Knopf Sets Oct. 21 Publication for Virginia Giuffre Memoir

Alfred A. Knopf said on Sunday it will publish a posthumous memoir by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers, on 21 October. Titled “Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice,” the 400-page book was completed with author-journalist Amy Wallace before Giuffre died by suicide on 25 April at age 41. In an email to Wallace weeks before her death, Giuffre wrote that it was her “heartfelt wish” for the manuscript to be released regardless of her circumstances, saying the memoir aimed to expose systemic failures that enable cross-border trafficking. Knopf said the manuscript was “vigorously fact-checked and legally vetted.” The memoir is expected to provide “intimate, disturbing and heartbreaking” new details of Giuffre’s years with Epstein, his former partner Ghislaine Maxwell and their circle of influential associates, including Britain’s Prince Andrew, with whom Giuffre reached an out-of-court settlement in 2022. Knopf declined to specify further allegations but confirmed the book makes no claims against U.S. President Donald Trump. Giuffre had originally secured a seven-figure deal with Penguin Press, according to Knopf, and followed her editor Emily Cunningham when she moved to Knopf last year. The publisher said proceeds from the memoir will continue Giuffre’s advocacy for trafficking survivors, a cause she championed publicly until her death.
