«Die Selbstmord-Schwestern» is the novel by Jeffrey Eugenides, published by Rowohlt Verlag GmbH in hardback (250 pages, in German).
On a residential street in North America in the early seventies, a group of boys watches the five Lisbon sisters. When the youngest throws herself out of the window, the neighbours reconstruct the so-called «year of the suicides» through memories and clues. The novel portrays adolescence, memory and desire with a macabre and lyrical tone.
It is the German translation of «The Virgin Suicides» (1993); this revised edition (Überarb. Neuausgabe) came out in 2004.
For readers of literary fiction and coming-of-age stories with a disturbing and reflective tone.
