Reviews"A piercing first novel . . . lyrical and portentous." -- The New York Times "Mr. Eugenides is blessed with the storyteller's most magical gift, the ability to transform the mundane into the extraordinary." -- The New York Times Book Review "Arresting . . . uncannily evokes the wry voice of adolescence and a mixture of curiosity, lust, tenderness, morbidity, cynicism, and the navet surrounding these bizarre events." -- The Wall Street Journal "Picador's new paperback edition of The Virgin Suicides bears a modest white sleeve with an evocative cover image of lackadaisical teenagers lounging in a field of grass. The understatement of the binding is complemented by the rest of the package: Short of breadth, with larger than average type, it resembles nothing so much as what children refer to as a 'chapter book.' This sparsity of presentation is entirely appropriate, reflecting the marred innocence of the Lisbon girls themselves. The Virgin Suicides is a precious item, a timeless document of the eternal pangs of youth, a work which deserves to be savored and treasured and shared." --Michael Munro, "A piercing first novel . . . lyrical and portentous."--T he New York Times "Mr. Eugenides is blessed with the storyteller's most magical gift, the ability to transform the mundane into the extraordinary." -- The New York Times Book Review "Arresting . . . uncannily evokes the wry voice of adolescence and a mixture of curiosity, lust, tenderness, morbidity, cynicism, and the naïveté surrounding these bizarre events." -- The Wall Street Journal "Picador's new paperback edition of The Virgin Suicides bears a modest white sleeve with an evocative cover image of lackadaisical teenagers lounging in a field of grass.

SynopsisThe National Bestseller from the Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author of Middlesex and The Marriage Plot With a New Introduction by Emma Cline First published in 1993, The Virgin Suicides announced the arrival of a major new American novelist. In a quiet suburb of Detroit, the five Lisbon sisters--beautiful, eccentric, and obsessively watched by the neighborhood boys--commit suicide one by one over the course of a single year. As the boys observe them from afar, transfixed, they piece together the mystery of the family's fatal melancholy, in this hypnotic and unforgettable novel of adolescent love, disquiet, and death. Jeffrey Eugenides evokes the emotions of youth with haunting sensitivity and dark humor and creates a coming-of-age story unlike any of our time.

Got it as a gift
I haven’t actually read this book but I got it for my fiancée and she has not been able to put it down. That to me is a good indication of how good this book is. The condition was great when I got it and it came just in time for her birthday.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
