Synopsis "the virgin suicides"

the shocking thing about the girls was how nearly normal they seemed when their mother let them out for the one and only date of their lives. twenty years on, their enigmatic personalities are embalmed in the memories of the boys who worshipped them and who now recall their shared adolescence: the brassiere draped over a crucifix belonging to the promiscuous lux; the sisters breathtaking appearance on the night of the dance; and the sultry, sleepy street across which they watched a family disintegrate and fragile lives disappear.

Jeffrey Eugenides (Detroit, 1960) studied at Brown and Stanford universities. He is the author of three acclaimed novels, all published by Anagrama: The Virgin Suicides, adapted into a film by Sofia Coppola: "Extraordinary novel, the Lisbon sisters are to the literature of the nineties what Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye was to the fifties" (Sergi Sánchez, El Mundo); Middlesex, which won the 2003 Pulitzer and was considered one of the best novels of recent decades: "Outstanding, very powerful" (Antonio Fontana, ABC); "Magnificent family saga, a dazzling novel" (Ignacio Martínez de Pisón); "Colossal" (David Guzmán, La Razón); and The Marriage Plot: "Fine and empathetic... Eugenides returns to claim his place among the master craftsmen of the (great) (American) novel" (Rubén Pujol, Rockdelux); "A luminous meditation on the distance between literature and life" (Eduardo Lago, El País).
