Description

📖 An intimate story at the heart of an unbearable secret

La familia grande is the story of a loving and brilliant clan, where debates, laughter, travel, and the cultivation of a shining image of unity occur. But behind this façade of happiness hides a heavy secret: incest.

Camille Kouchner recounts:

  • The confession of her twin brother, a victim of sexual abuse
  • The hold of an influential and admired man
  • The silence imposed, accepted, then reconstructed
  • The tearing between family loyalty and the duty of truth

✍️ A poignant testimony turned social phenomenon

✔️ An intimate and political book, marking a turning point in the liberation of speech around incest
✔️ A simple, modest, and impactful writing style that touches the heart
✔️ A reflection on the notion of control, consent, and family loyalty
✔️ A denunciation of the omertà in families and intellectual elites


📚 An act of literary courage

By writing La familia grande, Camille Kouchner becomes the voice of thousands of victims and poses an essential question:

“What to do when you know?”

Her response: write to free, to heal, to alert.
