First published in 1993, The Virgin Suicides announced the
arrival of a major new American novelist. In a quiet suburb
of Detroit, the five Lisbon sisters--beautiful, eccentric,
and obsessively watched by the neighborhood boys--commit
suicide one by one over the course of a single year. As the
boys observe them from afar, transfixed, they piece
together the mystery of the family's fatal melancholy, in
this hypnotic and unforgettable novel of adolescent love,
disquiet, and death. Jeffrey Eugenides evokes the emotions
of youth with haunting sensitivity and dark humor and
creates a coming-of-age story unlike any of our time. Adapted into a critically acclaimed film by Sofia Coppola,
The Virgin Suicides is a modern classic, a lyrical and
timeless tale of sex and suicide that transforms and
mythologizes suburban middle-American life.
