Alice SeboldMonday 2 June 2003
Alice Sebold
In the tunnel where eighteen year old Alice Sebold was raped, another girl had been murdered and dismembered. The police told her she was lucky by comparison.

Now, twenty years later, Alice has written her memoir of that time, Lucky, in which she recounts the rape and her initial attempts to come to terms with it, and details her treatment by the legal system, culminating in the trial of her attacker.
Alice Sebold joins Jenni to talk about her traumatic experience.
'Lucky' is published by Picador; ISBN 0-330-41836X and 'The Lovely Bones' also published by Picador; ISBN 0-330-485385.
