The Virgin Suicides
The Virgin Suicides

Haunting meditation on youth, loss, and obsession.

"The Virgin Suicides" is a poignant read that will resonate if you're drawn to stories that blend the macabre with the poetic. Eugenides crafts a narrative that's both eerie and tender, exploring adolescence and the profound impact of the Lisbon sisters' enigmatic lives and tragic fates on the boys who can't forget them. It's evocative and will likely stay with you, challenging you to decipher its deeper meanings about the pains of growing up.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The shocking thing about the girls was how nearly normal they seemed when their mother let them out for the one and only date of their lives. Twenty years on, their enigmatic personalities are embalmed in the memories of the boys who worshipped them and who now recall their shared adolescence: the brassiere draped over a crucifix belonging to the promiscuous Lux; the sisters' breathtaking appearance on the night of the dance; and the sultry, sleepy street across which they watched a family disintegrate and fragile lives disappear.
