A haunting and beautifully written novel that follows the lives of the five Lisbon sisters, who become enigmatic figures in their suburban neighborhood after their overprotective parents confine them to their home. Narrated by a group of boys who obsessively observe the sisters from a distance, the story slowly unravels the girls’ tragic fate. Eugenides explores themes of adolescence, longing, and the isolation of youth, all while painting a vivid picture of 1970s suburban life. This copy is in fair condition, with signs of wear typical of a well-loved book.
