the permissive zone Claire creates in her apartment - a place of ecstatic release.<br />
All too quickly, Therese is forced to confront herself and her choices - just how did<br />
she become this person? And what exactly should she do about it?<br />

Dice<br />
by Claire <strong>Bay</strong>lis<br />
Four teenage boys invent a sex game based on rolling dice and doing what the<br />
numbers say. They are charged with multiple sexual offences against three teenage<br />
girls. Twelve random jurors are brought together in a trial to work out what actually<br />
happened. Only they can say whether crimes have been committed and who<br />
should be punished. How does the jury find? Dice is a stunning courtroom drama<br />
told from the perspective of a diverse group of ordinary people - the jury. How will<br />
twelve women and men, aged from eighteen to seventy-two with hugely disparate<br />
backgrounds, beliefs and experience, decide whether consent was given or crimes<br />
were committed? How can they possibly arrive at a unanimous verdict? How will<br />
justice be properly served? In this dazzlingly accomplished and gripping debut novel,<br />
chapters are told through the point of view of each juror as the trial unfolds. The<br />
reader too becomes a jury member as the evidence is presented and information is<br />
withheld, fragmented and re-told by different witnesses.<br />
