The Virgin Suicides

by Jeffrey Eugenides

First published in 1993, The Virgin Suicides announced the arrival of a major new American novelist. In a quiet Detroit suburb, the five Lisbon sisters—beautiful, eccentric, obsessively watched—commit suicide one by one over a single year, haunting the neighborhood boys who narrate their elusive, tragic mystery.
