Non-Fiction Memoir
They were accused of one of the most infamous murders of our
time. Targeted by the media, sentenced by the courts, and
wrongfully imprisoned for four excruciating years for a
crime neither could fathom let alone perpetrate, Raffaele
Sollecito and Amanda Knox were the victims in a trial so
bizarre it defied all reason. Now, for the first time since
his acquittal, Raffaele reveals what really happened between
him and his then girlfriend before, during, and after
Amanda’s roommate Meredith Kercher’s brutal murder.
Filled with family drama, wild reversals of fortune, and
a blow-by-blow account of the legal catastrophe as it
unfolded, this harrowing firsthand account sheds fascinating
new light on one of the world’s most controversial murder
cases. With startling candor, Raffaele shares intimate
details about his changing relationship with Amanda—one that
veered in a matter of days from giddy romance to grueling
police interrogations. Over the next four years, Raffaele
was the only solid alibi Amanda had for the night of the
murder. He came under unrelenting pressure—from his own
family and lawyers as much as the police and prosecution—to
change his testimony and stop vouching for her. But he
wouldn’t do it. He refused to testify against her to save
his own skin, because he knew she would be lost forever.
Raffaele sifts through the wild accusations depicting
him as a druggie, a porn addict, and reckless thrill seeker,
and shows how these stories were gross distortions of
trivial episodes in his young life. With unflinching
honesty, he takes readers behind the scenes of the trial of
the century—and inside the day-to-day hell of prison life.
Finally, and poignantly, Raffaele talks about his first
face-to-face reunion with Amanda following their release.
Emotional, disturbing, and ultimately galvanizing,
this memoir is more than a true-crime story—it is a riveting
account of an egregious miscarriage of justice, of public
condemnation, and personal survival. Honor Bound is
also, at its heart, a tragic love story about a young man
who trusted his feelings, refused to give up hope, and
ultimately triumphed.
