Breaking the silence on incest: How France is facing up to the unspeakable

France is reeling from claims and revelations of incest. It began with a book by the sister of an alleged victim, her own twin brother abused sexually throughout his teens by his stepfather, Olivier Duhamel. Camille Kouchner's book La Familia Grande has blown the lid off a massive social problem. What happened to her brother is classified as incest in France, in other countries  it would be called child sex abuse, all the more damaging because it is purpetrated by a person in loco parentis.
