The narrator is an unidentified member of a group of boys who are fascinated with the Lisbon girls, or really, the narrator is unidentified because he is more than just one of the mentioned neighbourhood boys, but a sum of the parts. This novel has a very strange first person plural writing style which I have never come across before. It is the four older girls, especially Lux, who capture the widespread attention and lust of the boys in the neighbourhood. The five girls are Cecilia who is 13, Lux who is 14, Bonnie 15, Mary 16 and Therese 17. The Virgin Suicides is about the deaths of the Lisbon girls which marked the disintegration of the Grosse Point, Michigan neighbourhood in which they lived during the 1970s. Today I’ll be looking at the 1993 novel The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides and its film adaptation The Virgin Suicides written and directed by Sofia Coppola released in 1999.
