This is what I thought Middlesex would be more like. I really enjoyed this book a lot. About a little boy who is abandoned on a garbage pile, a mad lord finds him and decides to raise him as the daughter he never had. Yep you got that right. He raises the little boy as a girl. His sister had died years before and when he looked at this baby boy all he could see was her. His servants think he is to fragile and don't say anything about him. As the child grows older he/she starts developing feelings for the girl that he grew up with and starts developing facial hair.
I really enjoyed this book and was horrified by the awful cover they put on the paperback because I thought the hardcover cover was much stronger.
