To understand why Calliope is not like other girls, she has to uncover a guilty family secret, and the astonishing genetic history that turns Callie into Cal, one of the most audacious and wondrous narrators in contemporary fiction. Lyrical and thrilling, Middlesex is an exhilarating reinvention of the American epic.]]> 1467 3.90 115436 11335 2002 5 0 false Fri Nov 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 18:26:39 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 18:26:46 -0800 2009
