10 - The Virgin Suicides

Eugenides, Jeffrey. "The Virgin Suicides", New York : Farrar Straus Giroux, 1993.

The Virgin Suicides is a recollection of memories of young man who is infatuated with his neighbours, the five Lisbon sisters. The Lisbon sisters are shrouded in parental grief after the suicide of the youngest sister. The religious parents hold the girls almost captive in their home to try and 'protect' them. However the outcome is far worse when the remaining girls decide to take action against their parents, with horrific outcomes.
