Description

"They knew everything about us while we were unable to unravel their mystery."
Cecilia, Lux, Bonnie, Mary and Therese. The Lisbon sisters are five. Exemplary teenagers, raised in a close-knit family. When 13-year-old Cecilia throws herself out of the window, the small suburbs of Michigan are buzzing with rumors. Perfection is shattered.
The bereaved parents then decide to take their daughters out of school to cut them off from the influence of the outside world, which they consider threatening. We are in the 1970s, the revolution in morals is shaking up the values of traditional America. Trying to resist this confinement, the Lisbon sisters gain a little freedom by communicating from a distance with a group of boys they fascinate.
Translated from the English (United States) by Marc Cholodenko
