ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Virgin Suicides" by Jeffrey Eugenides is a poignant exploration of the mysterious lives of the five Lisbon sisters, who are sheltered and overprotected by their strict, religious parents. Narrated by a group of local boys, the story delves into themes of isolation, longing, and the complexities of adolescence. Set in a quiet suburban neighborhood in the 1970s, the novel captures the boys' fascination with the girls' tragic existence, exploring how a sense of mystery and incompleteness shapes their lives. Eugenides masterfully portrays the fragility of youth, the weight of secrets, and the haunting nature of unspoken grief.
