I absolutely adored this book. I loved the writing (Eugenides is such an amazing writer) and I really enjoyed the narration style. I loved the atmosphere the book built around the sisters, and how their story reveals so much about the neighbourhood around them and the fears of the time. This is a book I will definitely read again, one of my favourites for sure.
