Yes, the Lisbon sisters' suicides in Jeffrey Eugenides' novel "The Virgin Suicides" were inspired by real events. The author drew from the tragic story of the five Lisbon sisters who lived in suburban Detroit and took their own lives in the 1970s. While the novel is a work of fiction, it captures the themes of isolation and the complexities of adolescent life, reflecting the emotional turmoil faced by the sisters.
