Charity fleamarket find. I already have a copy of this book - but it's so good that I doubt it will be long before this one finds new readers. :)

Received with thanks!
Thanks for sharing, took me way too long to get around reading this! This is a very original, gothic story, I liked but felt it is maybe better received by younger readers, or it has aged not so well, in any case I should have read it in the 90's :)

Safely arrived today, thank you Blue_berry ! I loved Middlesex by the same author, so I am very eager to read this one.
Blurb from amazon : Previously adapted into a critically acclaimed film by Sofia Coppola starring Kirsten Dunst, this is the story of the five Lisbon sisters – beautiful, eccentric, and obsessively watched by the entire neighbourhood.
The boys that once loved them from afar are now grown men, determined to understand a tragedy that has always defied explanation. For still, the question remains – why did all five of the Lisbon girls take their own lives?
No doubt that Eugenides is a genuine story taler. The book is captivating though the plot unusual and utterly weird. I read it in one rainy Sunday, unable to put it down.
