From the preview of the library booksale.
This beautiful and sad first novel, recently adapted for a major motion picture, tells of a band of teenage sleuths who piece together the story of a twenty-year old family tragedy begun by the youngest daughter’s spectacular demise by self-defenstration, which inaugurates “the year of the suicides.”

This author has a unique style of writing and while it refreshing this book never really grabbed me. Personally I much preferred Middlesex.
