The Virgin Suicides


The Virgin Suicides is quite an interesting read, not only because the subject matter revolves around death, but also the mysterious existence of the 5 Lisbon sisters: Therese, Mary, Bonnie, Lux and Cecelia. Eugenides' writing, in its simplicity, conveys the surrounding community's desire to understand the sisters' frustration with society and life along with the untold suffering they endured. This is an incredible book, and is highly recommended.
