In Jeffrey Eugenides' haunting and timeless tale 'The Virgin Suicides,' the quiet suburb of Detroit becomes a chilling tableau for the disquieting unraveling of the Lisbon sisters. Beautiful, mysterious, and the subjects of neighborhood boys' infatuations, the sisters systematically take their own lives over the span of a year. Through the eyes of these transfixed boys, now grown men, they attempt to understand the melancholy that led to the sisters' tragic end. A profound exploration of adolescence, this story captures the complexities of love, disquiet, and death with unsettling beauty and dark humor.
