Why Did You Come Back Every Summer (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

A fractured documentary of family rape, secrets, and the cost of pursuing the truth.

In Belén López Peiró's Why Did You Come Back Every Summer, family is home, and safety, and betrayal. Her uncle, a police commissioner, rapes her. His wife and daughter shelter, then refuse her. Her mother is his sister. And no one wants to believe her.

This is a true story of intimate sexual violence. Told in multiple voices, and by the police reports filed and interviews made, the demand that truth makes, the cost it incurs, is filed away. Most important is the shifting, slipping loyalty everyone has to the ones they love. Who do you owe yourself to? Who owes you? What must be done to take yourself back?

But now it's time to give yourself some closure and start to tell yourself another story. The story of your life, which doesn't end here. This is just the beginning.
