The Virgin Suicides is a novel that was recommended to me in class by my peers. It starts off by introducing the now middle-aged adults whose lives have been changed forever. They revisit what they know about the five Lisbon girls' lives and deaths through their own memories and interviews with neighbors, tracking the destruction of a family over thirteen months, and exploring the lingering feelings of love and pain that have persisted for 20 years. These men have this awkward obsession with the five fated sisters, Therese, Mary, Bonnie, Lux, and Cecilia Lisbon. These mysterious girls don;t see,m to really be known in the town, but with the youngest, Cecilia, kills herself, it establishes "the year of the suicides" and all eyes are on them. The boys seem like a vague group of boys whose names are never mentioned entirely. All we know is they are in high school , and live in the same suburb as the Lisbon's and have always been fascinated the girls.
