The Virgin Suicides is about the deaths of the Lisbon young ladies which denoted the deterioration of the Grosse Point, Michigan neighbourhood in which they lived in during the 1970s. The five young ladies are thirteen year old Cecilia, fourteen year old Lux, fifteen year old Bonnie, sixteen year old Mary and seventeen year old Therese.
