Welcome to Litsy!

This was a moving memoir about a privileged woman accused of a murder she did not commit, who then found herself incarcerated, and at the center of a huge Italian news story. I am trying to learn more about incarceration and so I wanted to read this book. Her story echoes the misogyny the world throws at women who end up in a troubled situation. Amanda is pulled back and forth into prison, through acquittal and back again. It is frustrating ⬇️

I wasn‘t the first woman to be slapped with a scarlet letter, and I know I won‘t be the last.

4.5 stars, rated down 2 4 4 Goodreads. This 1 was a little slow 2 start, with the 1st 3 hours being on her state of mind while she was in prison & I got more interested once she was let out. It‘s very powerful in how you can overcome adversity & face those who wronged you. I enjoyed Amanda‘s reading of the audiobook. If u read her 1st memoir & liked it, u should like this 1 2! I‘m glad I have the physical book bc there r some excellent takeaways!

Raw, powerful, and at times emotional. Knox‘s story is one that most of us know, and I am in awe of how she has been able to find freedom and peace in the aftermath. It‘s truly inspirational.

Amanda Knox is known as the girl who went on trail for the murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher. Her first book,'Waiting to be Heard,' tells mostly about the trail. 'Free' tells a bit about the trail, her time in prison, and her life since.

I enjoyed this book because I can remember her trail. She spent 4 years in prison, then 8 before she was finally cleared by the Court of Cessation, that like the US Supreme Court, but in Italy.
