A Hymn To Life

*A Hymn to Life* by Gisèle Pelicot is a courageous memoir that reshaped the global conversation about sexual violence, consent and survival. Written with clarity and restraint, it’s both personal testimony and a rallying call for “shame to change sides”.

One day Gisèle is summoned to her local police station, and the life she recognises falls away. What begins as an investigation into her husband’s behaviour exposes a long, hidden pattern of drugging and assault, and a betrayal that reverberates far beyond one marriage. Years later, her decision to forgo anonymity during the trial makes headlines worldwide—and offers many others language for what they’ve lived through.

This book will resonate with readers of true crime memoir, feminist nonfiction and stories of resilience, as well as anyone interested in justice and social change.
