Then, in 2020, everything shattered. What investigators uncovered exposed years of hidden betrayal that would shock France and ignite global debate about consent, dignity, and justice.

Gisèle Pelicot Life Story is a powerful and deeply human account of a woman whose private ordeal became a national reckoning. This book traces her journey from childhood and family life to the devastating revelation that her husband had systematically drugged and violated her trust.
