The slim book that started a movement.

The author Camille Kouchner had a privileged life and whose family friends included the elite of Paris. Every year they and many of their friends (this is where the term the big family comes from) would gather every summer at the south of France. It's here that Camille writes about the sexual abuse that her stepfather inflicted on her male twin Viktor and how keeping that secret hidden for years caused her psychologically. When the abuse became common knowledge among the Familia Grande what did they do collectively? They closed rank and took no action. Pain, upon pain, upon pain.

This book was 1st published in France and caused a huge furor as the stepfather is/was a top academic and respected intellectual in France. Interestingly her actual father is Bernard Kouchner was a cofounder of Doctors Without Border.

This book ignited the #metoo movement and France and caused quite a scandal.
