DARK CHAPTER
WINNIE LI
Inspired by true events, this is a story of the dark chapters and chance
encounters that can irrevocably determine the shape of our lives.
On a bright spring afternoon in West Belfast, two paths collide during a
horrifying act of violence. In the aftermath, each is forced to confront
the chain of events that led to the attack.
Winnie M Li is a writer, producer, and sexual assault activist. Her debut
novel, Dark Chapter, is a harrowing fictional crime story based on her
experience of assault, which has been recognized by awards including
CWA Debut Dagger’s Highly Commended title.
