{"product_id":"9781250074812","title":"The Virgin Suicides","description":"Jeffrey Eugenides evokes the coming-of-age experience with haunting sensitivity and dark humor and creates a story unlike any of our time.\r\n \r\nJuxtaposing the most common and the most gothic, the humorous and the tragic, Jeffrey Eugenides creates a vivid and compelling portrait of youth and lost innocence. He takes us back to the elm-lined streets of suburbia in the seventies, and introduces us to the men whose lives have been forever changed by their fierce, awkward obsession with five doomed sisters: brainy Therese, fastidious Mary, ascetic Bonnie, libertine Lux, and pale, saintly Cecilia, whose spectacular demise inaugurates \"the year of the suicides.\" This is the debut novel that caused a sensation and won immediate acclaim from the critics-a tender, wickedly funny tale of love and terror, sex and suicide, memory and imagination.\r\n\r\n -  For more than twenty years, Picador has been producing beautifully packaged literary fiction and nonfiction books from Manhattan's Flatiron Building. Our Twentieth Anniversary Modern Classics line pairs iconic books with a design that's both small enough to fit in your pocket and unique enough to stand out on your bookshelf.","brand":"Jeffrey Eugenides","offers":[{"title":"Picador |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2015-11-03","offer_id":44151418880255,"sku":"9781250074812","price":25.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/products\/9781250074812.jpg?v=1676403124","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781250074812","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
