A Hymn to LifeA Hymn to Life

A concise, powerful memoir in which Pelicot recounts publicly confronting the systematic sexual abuse inflicted by her ex-husband and dozens of accomplices. Waiving anonymity during the landmark French trial, she reframes survival as testimony, tracing the discovery of the crimes, the legal battle that followed, and her path toward healing while issuing a broader call to shift shame from survivors to perpetrators and transform how society responds to sexual violence.
