After surviving a brutal sexual assault and an equally traumatic trial, a young Kathryn Heyman ran away to the sea, spending a season on the Ocean Thief with four seafaring men. Fury is her fierce, brave, harrowing memoir of those experiences. She talks here about escaping her childhood of poverty and violence, how she found a safe place for herself in books, surviving PTSD, reinventing yourself and the mobilising power of fury.
