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.\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;This is their story.\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;In 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.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;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. She shares how her mother managed to maintain her \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;joie de vivre \u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;in circumstances none of us could imagine.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Gisèle 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, \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;A Hymn to Life\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;. Together, mother and daughter reveal another side to the violence committed against women, as they bravely transform their private trauma into a collective fight.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"Bonnier Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50639826977056,"sku":"9781785126031","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781785126031.jpg?v=1785207250","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/ill-never-call-him-dad-again-by-the-daughter-of-dominique-and-gisle-pelicot-caroline-darian-9781785126031","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
