Despre această carte audio

Four children by her father. Thirty years of horrific sexual abuse. In March 2009, Joseph Fritzl was sentenced to life in jail for the systematic imprisonment, torture and rape of his daughter Elisabeth over 24 years, fathering seven children. The case shocked the world. But just a month before, the story of Australia’s own house of horrors was emerging in a Victorian country town. Under a blanket of suppression orders, a man in his late sixties was quietly arrested, charged – and later convicted – for the systematic rape, abuse and imprisonment of his only daughter, 'Katherine', which spanned decades. He fathered four of her children. Until now, this shocking story has been buried under a complex legal web and Katherine’s insistence on silence so that she could rebuild her shattered life and protect her children. In Behind Closed Doors, written with Sue Smethurst, Katherine breaks her silence and tells the story of how she survived – and how such degrading abuse went unnoticed for so long.

Despre autor

Katherine X is the victim of arguably the worst case of sexual abuse Australia has ever seen. Katherine's father began raping her when she was 13 and he continued a daily assault of sexual, physical and mental abuse until she was 41. Between 26 and 36, she gave birth to four of his children. In 2010 Katherine's father was sentenced to 22 years and five months' jail after pleading guilty to a reign of terror that began in the 1970s and only ended in 2005. After years of therapy, and with the support of a trusted group of psychologists and specialists, Katherine has written her story with Australian journalist Sue Smethurst: Behind Closed Doors.

Sue Smethurst is a prominent Australian journalist, businesswoman and mother of two. A highly respected media figure, she has enjoyed a long career through television, radio and magazines in Australia. Sue has co-authored three bestselling books, The Clothesline Diet, The Clothesline Diet Club and Why Can't I Lose Weight? and created Australian skincare company Hissyfit, which was recently successfully sold to a US pharmaceutical group.

Caroline Lee is a gifted actor and narrator who has worked extensively in theatre, film and television. Caroline has narrated a number of bestselling titles, including Apples Never Fall, Big Little Lies and Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty.

She has received three Green Room Awards for Best Actress, and four AudioFile Earphones Awards, including Best Audiobook of the Year 2016 for Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty.
