Girls Like You is an astonishing, searing non-fiction narrative, built on dialogue, character and forensic detail as it tracks the cascade of crimes by six brothers from Pakistan after they arrive in Sydney. In a catalogue of outrages, women are raped and men die. As the net eventually closes on the perpetrators the book becomes a courtroom drama. Paul Sheehan follows each shocking case, as the girls search for justice in a legal system loaded in favour of the defendant rather than the victim.
Girls Like You unfolds against the backdrop of the gang-rape phenomenon and the cultural clash between young Muslim men and young western women. Written by the author of the huge bestseller, Among The Barbarians, it is even more dramatic and even more topical.
