Notify me when the book’s added

This collection brings together three novels from one of America’s great modern writers.
‘The Virgin Suicides’ — Five doomed sisters and the boys who loved them from afar. A hauntingly evocative tale that became a cult hit film by Sofia Coppola.
‘Middlesex’ — Calliope Stephanides: beloved daughter, son, enigma, and the deeply human narrator of this soaring epic.
‘The Marriage Plot’ — Three flawed individuals searching for different versions of the same ideal; three separate lives drawn irrevocably together.
Illuminating and exquisitely written, in these three novels Eugenides explores the imperfections and vagaries of the human heart with unparalleled wit and insight: essential reading for any lover of great fiction.

It didn’t matter in the end how old they had been, or that they were girls, but only that we had loved them, and that they hadn’t heard us calling, still do not hear us, up here in the tree house, with our thinning hair and soft bellies, calling them out of those rooms where they went to be alone for all time, alone in suicide, which is deeper than death, and where we will never find the pieces to put them back together.
