The listing, The Virgin Suicides has ended.
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-defenestration, which inaugurates “the year of the suicides.”
"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."
This book is a very very (and I need to stress very) darkly humorous book. I was turned on to it by the movie of the same name and it quickly became on of my favorites. A group of boys recount how sisters took their own lives (not giving anything away... it says so right away) and the events leading up to, trying to find out the cause of their demise.
Trying to downsize my book collection, and this is one that I have read over and over again, so now is looking for a new home.
I ship either on Thursday or Friday of the week. If you need it shipped sooner, let me know ASAP and I'll work something out (not a guarantee). I offer a tracking number for free if requested. Insurance is offered as well, but must be paid for.
I only ship to addresses that are verified through Listia. If I do not get information within 5 days, I will assume you do not want the item and relist.
FREE SHIPPING UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED!!!
If there is shipping (paypal only), I must have email address within 5 days (if paypal address and listia address do not match, I ship to listia address) and payment within a week or else I relist. If payment can not be made within a week, please message me and I can work with you; I just ask that you let me know what is going on.
