My latest book, Body of Evidence was published on International Women’s Day this year. It is a series of essays from a crime scene – my body.
Dr Ailise Bulfin launched it at Chapters Bookstore and it is now on sale wherever good books are sold (as the saying goes).

In The Meantime, Here’s What Others Are Saying:
This book is essential reading for anyone studying or researching sexual violence who wants to understand the impact of rape and abuse. The writing is clear and passionate and, often, very funny! This is a nuanced and beautiful piece of writing that will enrich your understanding of survivorship and what it is to be human.– Dr Sinéad Ring (Associate Professor in Law, Maynooth University.)
“Some days the idea of getting through this alive seems more like a punishment.” A deeply analytical, insightful and thought-provoking account of how one child survived multifarious forms of abuse and made it safely into adulthood, and thrived. Shocking, bizarre, hopeful, and beautiful, this book is a gift to anyone who has endured horror at the hands of those they loved, and an education for those who haven’t. Thank you Hazel for writing it. – June Caldwell (Award-winning writer.)
Reading “Body of Evidence” was a deeply emotional read, completed fully in one sitting, unable to put it down! Hazel takes the bold move of exploring and explaining her trauma by journeying through her body, literally from head to toe, inside and out. Each part becomes a witness to the pain she endured by the people who should have loved her the most and as always highlights the difference just one person can make to one’s life. This isn’t just a story of childhood trauma and CSA, Hazel continues to live with it, work through it and find moments of joy and connection and most importantly unconditional love. There is raw honesty, resilience and humour through her words. Body of Evidence is not the easiest read but it is an important one which explores the long term impact of CSA and trauma on the body mentally, physically and emotionally. It is an amazing book. – Caroline Dunne (Research Team, University College Dublin.)
I am delighted Hazel Katherine Larkin wrote this beautiful book. I cried. I laughed. I nodded. I found things put into words that I had never been able to put into words. Hazel is a poet and a warrior. Her honesty, her knowledge, her wisdom, and her humour are all generously shared in the beautiful lines of this book. – Helen Ivory (Survivor of Child Sexual Abuse.)
