520    "An eloquent, powerful reckoning with incest and trauma, 
       which made a profound impact with its denunciation of a 
       prominent French public intellectual and the literary and 
       political elite that enabled his abuse. In February 2017, 
       Camille Kouchner gathered with family in Sanary-sur-Mer to
       bury her mother, who died with none of her five children 
       present. Her passing would stir up old emotions, 
       ultimately leading Camille to publicly confront a long-
       held and corrosive secret: her stepfather sexually abused 
       her twin brother when they were adolescents. This 
       violation of the parent-child relationship was compounded 
       by the complicity of their mother, who learned of her 
       husband's actions and stood by him, shifting blame to 
       Camille and her twin. The Familia Grande poignantly 
       explores the family dynamics of abuse, and the questions 
       of guilt and shame surrounding it. Camille grapples with 
       her own sense of responsibility--for not having stopped 
       her stepfather at the time, and for agreeing to keep 
       silent as her brother asked--and also considers the wider 
       societal forces that have allowed influential men to 
       commit such crimes and avoid the consequences for so long"
