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.
