THE BOOK THAT SPARKED THE VIRAL #METOOINCEST MOVEMENT


A terrible family secret. A sister who can no longer remain silent.

Set in amongst the French intellectual elite in Paris and their lavender scented estates in Provence, LA FAMILIA GRANDE tells a story of a corrosive secret that sits in a family for decades and ultimately razes it and the political, literary elite that enabled its silence, to the ground.

Already an international bestseller, this tender, groundbreaking and lacerating memoir has touched a nerve across the globe and has brought about a powerful reckoning of incest, and its far-reaching trauma.

The Familia Grande is a book of a generation.
