A review by velarin
W ciemnej dolinie. Rodzinna tragedia i tajemnica schizofrenii by Robert Kolker

informative sad slow-paced

4.0

It’s a sad and tragic story full of abuse and neglect. The scientific background on the research of schizophrenia is truly intriguing though at the end you’re left with the feeling that over the course of the book not that much has truly changed in the area. It also feels a bit shallow when it comes to characterization of the family members but it’s not surprising considering the existence of 14 protagonists. 

It was still a great read, even if quite depressing one. And if I had to have a takeaway from this story it would be something along the lines of: don’t birth twelve children if you clearly don’t have the capacity to raise them.
