Journal Entry 1 by Raffizack from Solingen, Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany on Sunday, August 20, 2006
Eugenides's remarkable first novel opens on a startling note: "On the morning the last Lisbon daughter took her turn at suicide... the two paramedics arrived at the house knowing exactly where the knife drawer was, and the gas oven, and the beam in the basement from which it was possible to tie a rope." What follows is not, however, a horror novel, but a finely crafted work of literary if slightly macabre imagination. In an unnamed town in the slightly distant past, detailed in such precise and limpid prose that readers will surely feel that they grew up there, Cecilia--the youngest and most obviously wacky of the luscious Lisbon girls--finally succeeds in taking her own life. As the confused neighbors watch rather helplessly, the remaining sisters become isolated and unhinged, ending it all in a spectacular multiple suicide anticipated from the first page.

I wish I had time enough to read all the books on my TBR-mountain, the result of collecting too much books during a period of 15 years! Unfortunately, that is not the case!
Therefore this book is moving to another mountain: the AVL-mountain.
