We then flashback to the time when the five Lisbon girls were the object of the neighborhood males and the novel takes place from the past on to the present day again (with the odd interjection on some artifact from the Lisbons). What I found interesting about the books was that it’s set in present and a narrator is collecting items dealing with the elusive Lisbon family who have moved away. I read The Virgin Suicides back in 2000, I read that there was a film adaptation and I can’t watch the film version before I read the book and I was lucky enough to find the novel on the shelves of the local bookstore (back then there were only two indie booksellers now they’ve been taken up by chain stores) and I finished it in a couple of blissful sunny summer days.
