About this listen

The literary sensation that stormed the world.

The phenomenal French best seller has sold 350,000 copies.

The book that sparked the viral #metooincest movement.

A family's secret weighs on everyone....

The Familia Grande is a tender, groundbreaking and lacerating memoir written by a sister who could no longer remain silent....

Set in amongst the French intellectual elite in Paris and their lavender-scented estates in Provence, it 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 best seller, it 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.

"Her writing is punchy, elegant and interrogative, punctuated by dark asides and wry Gallicisms." (Bookblast)

"The courage of a sister who could no longer keep quiet." (Emmanuel Macron)
