A Hymn to Life will tell Pelicot's story in her words, offer solace and hope, and make a positive contribution to changing the conversation around shame.
I want to tell my story in my own words. Through this book, I hope to convey a message of strength and courage to all those who are subjected to difficult ordeals.
Pelicot's ex-husband was sentenced to 20 years in prison...Fifty other men were convicted of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault.
It is a story of resilience, lucidity and courage, told with force.
