One of the most enjoyable and engaging novels I've read in the past year. Melds the synchronistic and enchanted weaving together of characters' lives and fates of a Dickens or Bronte novel with the wit and humor of Oscar Wilde at his best, with a contemporary overall sensibility. Rose Old is the most charming and endearing embodiment of a fictional gender outlaw I have yet come across. Highly recommended to anyone interested in gender identity who likes a good long rollicking novel.

37012 I also enjoyed this book, although I felt like the ending was a cop out.

Have you read Middlesex? Talk about endearing gender outlaws! I LOVE THAT BOOK!
