November day, Gisele Pelicot was called to a local police station
and life as she knew it ended. Her husband of fifty years had been
caught by a supermarket guard filming up women’s skirts. But on his
computer was shattering evidence: for nearly a decade, he had been
secretly drugging and raping her and inviting dozens of strangers
into their home to abuse her.Four years later, he and fifty other
men were put on trial and Gisele’s courage in waiving her right to
anonymity made global headlines. ‘Shame must change sides,’ she
declared, giving voice and hope to millions. Her words became a
rallying cry and her decision marked a turning point in public
feeling about sexual violence.For the first time, and with
unwavering honesty and grace, she describes a difficult childhood,
first love, her career and motherhood. It is a life in determined
search of happiness, both before and after her devastating
discovery. She is an ordinary person who faces extraordinary
catastrophe, whose example changes the world.Ultimately, Gisele
Pelicot emerges with a renewed passion and reverence for living,
and for love. A Hymn to Life is an unforgettable testament and
promise: that victims have no reason to feel ashamed, that even
after unimaginable betrayal we can go on, and that colour will
always return to life.‘A Hymn to Life is novelistic and resounds
with grace … An extraordinary achievement’ FINANCIAL TIMES‘A unique
memoir by a figure of astonishing power’ GUARDIAN‘Extraordinarily
courageous’ THE TIMES
