As the boys observe them from afar, transfixed, they piece together the mystery of the family&#39;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 humour and creates a coming-of-age story unlike any of our time. &#39;The Virgin Suicides&#39; was adapted into a critically acclaimed film by Sofia Coppola.</p>
