About this listen

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 60s 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.

Unmissable! Really enjoyed the book and the way it was written! K is a truly brave lady that endured so much for so long.
Totally enjoyed the narrator, the emotion of K’s life shone through!

Excellent

I tried really hard to get into this book, I found that my mind kept wondering , and for me it was boring.
l kept going back over a couple of the chapters to read them again, But that didnt seem to help either.
So eventualIty had to give up about halfway through .

Sad to say I got bored
