Una mañana de noviembre, Gisèle Pelicot fue llamada a una comisaría y la vida tal como la conocía llegó a su fin. Su marido había sido sorprendido por un guardia de seguridad de un supermercado grabando por debajo de la falda a varias mujeres. En su ordenador aparecieron otras pruebas devastadoras: durante casi una década, había estado drogándola y violándola en secreto, e invitando a desconocidos a su casa para que abusaran de ella. Cuatro años después, él y otros cincuenta hombres fueron llevados a juicio, y el coraje de Gisèle al renunciar a su derecho al anonimato ocupó los titulares en todo el mundo. «La vergüenza debe cambiar de bando', declaró, dando voz y esperanza a millones de personas. Por primera vez, y con una franqueza y elegancia inquebrantables, Gisèle cuenta toda su historia, partiendo de esa fatídica mañana y reviviendo una infancia difícil, su primer amor, su carrera, la maternidad, la intimidad de su matrimonio antes y después del demoledor descubrimiento y el continuo afán de buscar la felicidad, incluso cuando esta pueda parecer imposible, para reconstruirse. Escritas junto a la premiada periodista y novelista Judith Perrignon, estas luminosas memorias suponen un acontecimiento editorial mundial de enorme profundidad y trascendencia.
