Description
A haunting and lyrical novel of adolescent love, disquiet, and death, The Virgin Suicides is a modern tale of sex and suicide that transforms and mythologizes suburban middle-American life. In a quiet suburb of Detroit, the five Lisbon sisters commit suicide one by one over the course of a single year, leaving behind a mystery that the neighborhood boys, transfixed by their beauty and eccentricity, piece together. As the boys observe the family from afar, they begin to understand the fatal melancholy that has consumed the family, and in doing so, create a coming-of-age story unlike any of their time. With haunting sensitivity and dark humor, Jeffrey Eugenides evokes the emotions of youth, creating a story that is both unforgettable and unforgettable. Published in 1993, this novel announced the arrival of a major new American novelist and has since become a modern classic, adapted into a critically acclaimed film by Sofia Coppola.
