And so we started to learn about their lives, coming to hold collective memories of times we hadn’t experienced. We felt the imprisonment of being a girl, the way it made your mind active and dreamy, and how you ended up knowing what colours went together. We knew that the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them. We knew that they knew everything about us. And that we couldn’t fathom them at all.

L is for The Lisbon Girls
from The Virigin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides
5 characters for 1 this week. This was a last minute change of plans for me. I originally intended to do Luisa Rey from Cloud Atlas but after watching the awesome trailer for the new movie I can no longer not picture Halley Berry in that role. Plus, I’m going to save a Cloud Atlas character for later in the alphabet I think and I don’t like repeating books here. I’m glad I got to represent Jeffrey Eugenides in my AlphaBooks collection though because he is an amazing writer. His second book, Middlesex, is even better than this one. Of course, there is an excellent movie adaptation of The Virgin Suicides as well and more importantly a fantastic soundtrack by Air that I still listen to all the time.
