‘I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day of January 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of l974.’

So begins the breathtaking story of Calliope Stephanides and her truly unique family secret, born on the slopes of Mount Olympus and passed on through three generations.

Growing up in 70s Michigan, Calliope’s special inheritance will turn her into Cal, the narrator of this intersex, inter-generational epic of immigrant life in 20th century America.

Middlesex won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

Now and again you come across a book and you just go ‘wow’. This is so richly written, deep with nuance and entertaining. Loved it. Will be searching out more of this authors work.

Incredible!

I loved this, more an experience than book, was a veritable literary feast, well crafted story lines interwoven with words as finely woven as the silk threads of Desdemona.
The story of the rogue gene, passed through the generations, was expansive, yet intimate, funny, all encompassing , yet private, the story of everyone and the story of individuality.
The narration was sublime, engaging and sonorous, bringing every character to life without cliché.

A superbly written veritabl feast of an experience

Worth persevering, for the development of the wonderful characters' stories twisting in and out of each other and in time, but incredibly long.

Epic

This book is funny, thoughtful, intellectual. Historical references are great. I am sad I have parted ways with Caliope and Desdémona.

Loved the story. Excellent narrator
