AS SEEN ON OPRAH<BR>AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4<BR>The Guardian 'Brilliant Books to Read in 2025'<BR>The Times 'The Critics Picks: 40 Books to Look Out For in 2025'<BR><BR>THE BOOK THAT TELLS THE FIRST-HAND STORY OF THE GISÈLE PELICOT TRIAL<BR>AND GIVES A VOICE TO WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN SILENCED<BR><BR>The trial of Dominique Pelicot, which began on 2 September 2024, has captured the world's attention. Behind the unthinkable crimes, are a mother, Gisèle Pelicot, and her daughter, Caroline Darian, who were forced to rebuild their lives.<BR><BR>This is their story.<BR><BR>In November 2020, Caroline Darian received a call from the police. Her father was in custody. The seizure of his computer equipment revealed the unimaginable: since 2013, he had drugged his wife before handing her over, in a state of unconsciousness, to men, from all ages and stages of life.<BR><BR>With exceptional courage, Darian recounts the earth-shattering discovery that a loved one, her own father, is capable of the worst. But more importantly, she shares the remarkable story of her mother Gisèle and how she carried on living, without self-pity, while learning to manage all of the things her husband once took care of, incredibly maintaining her joie de vivre in unimaginable circumstances.<BR><BR>Gisèle has won acclaim around the world after she opted for a public trial, one in which Caroline herself has testified, turning the tables: the shame no longer borne by the victims in silence but directed, at last, to the abusers. Caroline has set up her own campaign, #MendorsPas: Stop Chemical Submission: Don't Put Me Under - to address the issue of chemical submission in the home. Together, mother and daughter reveal another side to the violence committed against women, as they bravely transform their private trauma into a collective fight.
