Wishlist Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Pen to Paper where we can share books that are on our wishlist.
I watched The Virgin Suicides a few years ago and I would definitely like to read it to compare.
GR: The haunting, humorous and tender story of the brief lives of the five entrancing Lisbon sisters, The Virgin Suicides, now a major film, is Jeffrey Eugenides' classic debut novel. 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.
This book is sooooo good! I read it ages ago and I loved it! I haven't seen the movie yet, though.
ReplyDeleteI think the book will answer a lot of questions the movie left me with :D
DeleteThis book looks good. Not my usual cup of tea but I am definitely going to keep an eye out for it! :)
