This intoxicating book – like Little Fires Everywhere – is set in an all-American suburb, and tells the story of the Lisbon sisters: four beautiful schoolgirls whose lives become increasingly controlled and confined by their parents after the suicide of their youngest sister. Suffused with sexual longing, the book is famously narrated by the unnamed boys of the local community in the first person plural. Eugenides’s text was sympathetically adapted by Sofia Coppola in 1999; both the book and the film are works of art in their own right.
