[PREORDER] The Virgin Suicides: A Novel

Have you ever wondered what lies behind the closed doors of a quiet house on a sleepy suburban street?
In The Virgin Suicides, Jeffrey Eugenides paints an unforgettable portrait of five mysterious sisters who captivate and haunt their neighbors long after they’re gone. Watched from a distance by a group of neighborhood boys, the Lisbon girls live trapped between innocence and a sadness nobody can quite name.
Set in a sleepy 1970s suburb, this modern classic explores the fragile beauty of adolescence and the dark undercurrents lurking beneath everyday life. Lyrical, dreamlike, and devastatingly poignant, Eugenides’ novel is as much a meditation on longing and memory as it is a story of youth, loss, and the unknowable lives of others.
