Els nois de Hidden Valley Road
dins del cap d'una família americana
Kolker, Robert
Don and Mimi Galvin embodied like no other the naive and enthusiastic spirit of the United States of their time. Young and full of dreams and ambitions, the future is an open horizon for them. The children did not take long to arrive: in 1945 Donald was born, the first of the twelve that the couple would have over two decades. Athletic, intelligent, talented, attractive and happily installed in the idyllic house on Hidden Valley Road, the Galvins would say the perfect American family. Until one day, after a series of strange behaviors, Donald is diagnosed with schizophrenia. In the years that follow, no fewer than five more of the Hidden Valley Road boys will develop the disease, and the threat will always hang over the heads of the rest. Despite the fact that her unique case will come to the attention of the National Institute of Mental Health, Mimi will spend half her life trying to maintain the impeccable facade of a exemplary and impeccable family, while behind closed doors the misery and horror only increase: crisis nervous, episodes of uncontrolled violence, abominable secrets...
