The Virgin Suicides
When the youngest of five sisters, thirteen-year-old Cecilia, commits suicide, a group of boys' fascination with the girls intensifies. However, the Lisbon family's life changes drastically, and the mother isolates the girls, preventing them from going to school, forbidding them from listening to music or meeting friends. The young men, however, continue to follow their steps, collecting objects belonging to them, studying Cecilia's diary, seeking answers to the strange questions that torment them. And they secretly contact the Lisbon sisters, trying to arrange their escape from home. Despite all their efforts, they commit suicide, one by one.
The boys, now adults, remain determined to understand an inexplicable tragedy. Why did the Lisbon sisters commit suicide?
This timeless story about adolescence and suicide, which mythologizes American suburban life, heralded the arrival of one of the greatest novelists in the United States in the last fifty years.
