The Virgin Suicides is a novel by Jeffrey Eugenides that tells the story of the Lisbon sisters, a Catholic family living in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, in the 1970s. The novel explores the events leading up to the suicide of the five sisters and the impact it has on the community. Through the eyes of the neighborhood boys, the novel examines themes such as adolescence, sexuality, repression, and obsession with death. The story unfolds in a seemingly idyllic suburban environment, but one that hides dark secrets and a deep sense of despair.
