I voted for you and Happy Birthday! I've been wondering when the popular press in the US would start to report on this story; the Guardian has been following it for months. Thank you for your amazing book and for bringing light to Gisele's heroism.
Just voted for you in both categories. Happy Birthday!
And Gisele Pelicot is an absolute hero. I hope that her bravery in the face of these horrific rapes and choosing to be public about the whole thing will change the way rape is viewed and prosecuted. I worry that it will still be slow progress. But I have hope.
Thanks so much for voting Naomi! And I'm with you--the way the world views women and rape means it will be slow but we've got to count every single step forward.

Thanks for the kind words Aunna! And thank you so much for voting. I'll announce the winner after the new year :)
I just read this post: your birthday plans sounded, and I hope we’re, delightful! Happy year to you!
Gisele’s courage gives me hope in the face of seemingly never ending rape culture.
Thanks Kathleen!
Wow. Happy day and thanks for this article

Also, Gisele is officially my hero ♥️

I voted for you! I didn't know you were in Chicago, we're so close by! If you ever do any book signings in Rockford let me know!
Thanks for voting! And if I come to Rockford I will for sure let you know so you can bring a lot of friends :)
We share a birthday!
No way! Happy birthday 🎈
Thanks! you inspired me to write about it, too. (I'm usually strangely shy about it...)
