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.
