Trash: Encounters with Ghislaine Maxwell
As one of the world’s most high-profile trials looms in November, Christina Oxenberg reflects on her encounters with alleged sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.In December 2018, Oxenberg was in Palm Beach when she read about the horrors of the Epstein and Maxwell case and how Ghislaine had allegedly referred to her victims as ‘trash’. The word triggered Christina, forcing her to look into her own past and the abuse she suffered. What’s more, she was flooded with memories of her encounters with Ghislaine, and realised she had a moral duty to share these with the FBI. So she did, and now she’s sharing them with us.Ghislaine Maxwell once begged Christina Oxenberg to ghostwrite her this is not that book and these are ghosts she would not want disturbed, but here they are. In her memories of Ghislaine, she recounts conversations and observations that will shock the reader to the core. The vivid and gripping Trash also contains other astonishing revelations. It’s about time someone told the truth, and Christina is not afraid to do it.Christina Oxenberg is a Serbian-American writer and fashion designer. She has written seven books, including the critically acclaimed Royal Blue and Dynasty and has written for publications including The Sunday Times, Huffington Post and others. Christina has been instrumental in the Ghislaine Maxwell case and was interviewed for a number of documentaries on Ghislaine Maxwell, yet to be released.

Fascinating
I was interested in the book, believing it would disclose some fascinating unknown details about Ghislaine Maxwell, however there is precious anything new, but the reader is pulled along to believe there is going to be a big reveal, sadly there is none.
What is revealed is Christina's dysfunctional & damaging upbringing by a cold father & indifferent mother, too bothered about her image.
Those two descriptions could also be placed upon Epstein & Maxwell, two predators stalking for prey and gathering up names & kompromat on the rich and famous whom Christina got to know well.
There are some big reveals about Les Wexner, the Lolita Express but other than that, it's a disappointment, you feel that Christina is holding something back or really has nothing new to add to the story.
i believe the book was written as a means of catharsis to ease the pain or some guilt.

Very interesting perspective
Very interesting perspective from someone who was in the same social scene but had a sixth sense about both Maxwell and Epstein. The fact these two got away with what they did, with so many red flags is appalling. I enjoyed Christina’s book immensely.

If you ever wish to have been born rich, this account may make you think again. The author's autobiography is the more interesting, perhaps because Maxwell's story is so well known. The big question is why a woman with Maxwell's upbringing and wealth would consider a career as a procuress.

Interesting
I love the writing style. It's saucy. A small glimpse into the strange and emotionally bankrupt world of the rich and connected. The writer was told by her mother that she was the illegitimate daughter of JFK. My question is where is Maury Povich for the elites?
