'Relative Truth,' is Caroline Walker's debut novel which is based on very real events. Deeply personal to the author, it gives an account of a black girl’s journey from an English boarding school to the catwalk in Italy and eventually qualifying and practising as a Barrister in the High Court.
Walker grew up in South London and started at one of the worst schools in the city. Thanks to the tenacity of her father, she was rescued and sent to boarding school with her brother. She left home at 18 and ventured out into the big wide world. As a result of what she describes in the early part of 'Relative Truth,' she studied Law and did a Master’s at King’s College London and was called to Bar in early 2000.
She was present at some of the more notable cases of the last few decades such as the Jill Dando Trial, the New Cross Fire Inquest and the Bloody Sunday Inquiry.
Book number two is already underway.
