If you haven’t already, you should absolutely read this book.Īfter The Virgin Suicides, I delved even further back into my reading history by digging out some of the old Point Horror novels that I used to read as a child. If you’re not familiar with the book, it tells the story of the five Lisbon sisters and the months before they took their own lives, told from the perspective of the neighbourhood boys who loved them from afar. It’s been over a decade since I read Jeffrey Eugenides’ tale of teenage suicide and it was just as captivating and tragic as I remembered. To try and combat that, in February I went through my bookshelves and picked out a few old favourites to reread, starting with The Virgin Suicides. I’m not sure exactly why, but so far this year I’ve been feeling distinctly underwhelmed when it comes to reading.
