Behind the haunting details of Pelicot's unthinkable crimes are a mother, Gisèle Pelicot, and a daughter, Caroline Darian, who were forced to rebuild their lives.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis is their story.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn November 2020, Caroline Darian received a call from the police in Carpentras. Her father was in police custody. The seizure of his computer equipment revealed the unthinkable: 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith 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. She shares how her mother managed to maintain her \u003ci\u003ejoie de vivre \u003c\/i\u003ein circumstances none of us could imagine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGisèle Pelicot has won acclaim around the world after she gave up her right to anonymity and opted for a public trial, a trial 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. She has also written her own book, \u003ci\u003eA Hymn to Life\u003c\/i\u003e. Together, mother and daughter reveal another side to the violence committed against women, as they bravely transform their private trauma into a collective fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55602231935350,"sku":"9781785126031","price":8.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37801393_314a8ae8-3ec7-41dc-959b-568749eebb77.jpg?v=1763037273","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781785126031-ill-never-call-him-dad-again-by-the-daughter-of-gisele-pelicot-turning-our-family-trauma-of-chemical-submission-into","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
