My favourite book

The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides

One of my all-time passions, as I’ve been saying in further entries, is reading. For that reason I’ve got an important list of titles I could expose to all my readers. From Drama to Science Fiction, I’m an avid reader who likes to discover all kinds of situations and genres in general and for that, also, the variety of the books I keep at home (or in other’s home as I am too lackadaisical in what having order among my belongings concerns) is also wide. 

But, in between my collection of favourite books, I can count the romantic and beautifully described Memoirs of a Geisha or the impressively-written British classic Pride and Prejudice. I also love Aleph, from Paulo Coehlo, and the Harry Potter books, which marked my childhood and encourage reading more in order to strengthen my linguistic capabilities.

Even though, last year I had the opportunity to read another book I have been interested in and that a friend of mine recommended me so intensely I had to put its reading in my list of priorities: The Virgin’s Suicides. This book tells us the story of the five Lisbon sisters, all tied up to very severe parents who do not allow their blonde princesses to experiment what adolescence has in store for them (Gosh, I am being to literary again, sorry) That’s why they end up making a pact that will change their lives forever and, of course, the ones surrounding them. It is written lovely and not only plays with the sister’s lives but also with the boys who, astounded by their beauty, follow the girls day and night to solve the mysteries set around them. The book is incredibly compelling at every part, oozing a feminine while powerful vibe reader can’t resist to.

Of course The Virgin Suicides is such a strong recommendation I suggest to every drama fan who’s reading me at this moment. You really won’t regret!
