In the spring of 1974, Calliope Stephanides, a student at a girls' school in Grosse Pointe, finds herself drawn to a chain-smoking, strawberry-blonde classmate with a gift for acting. The passion that furtively develops between them - along with Callie's failure to develop physically - leads Callie to suspect that she is not like other girls. In fact, she is not really a girl at all.
The explanation for this shocking state of affairs is a rare genetic mutation - and a guilty secret - that have followed Callie's grandparents from the crumbling Ottoman Empire to Prohibition-era Detroit and beyond, outlasting the glory days of the Motor City, the race riots of 1967, and the family's second migration, into the foreign country known as suburbia. Thanks to the gene, Callie is part girl, part boy. And even though the gene's epic travels have ended, her own odyssey has only begun.
Spanning eight decades - and one unusually awkward adolescence - Jeffrey Eugenides' long-awaited second novel is a grand, original fable of crossed bloodlines, the intricacies of gender, and the deep, untidy promptings of desire.
Winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Audie Award for best unabridged fiction, Middlesex marks the fulfillment of a huge talent, named one of America's best young novelists by both Granta and The New Yorker.

Reseñas de la Crítica
Audie Award Winner, Fiction (Unabridged), 2003
"Eugenides proves that he is not only a unique voice in modern literature but also well versed in the nature of the human heart. Highly recommended." (Library Journal )
"Not only are his interpretations of the characters astonishingly credible, but his internalization of the narrative is nothing short of amazing." (Publishers Weekly)
"A towering achievement...a story that manages to be both illuminating and transcendent...[Eugenides] has emerged as the great American writer many of us suspected him of being." (Los Angeles Times Book Review)

On a side note, at first, I was a little apprehensive about spending my one credit on a book that seemed to be centered around such a potentially uncomfortable topic for pleasure reading -hermaphrodites. I wanted a pleasant story to listen to, not something that would be sexually explicit. The topic is handled well in the book, and while the thread that the story follows is a physical abnormality caused by a mutation in genes, the story is more about the secrets, strengths and lives of three generations of a family.

Excellent story and narrator

The story of Cal doesn't come till after the 13th hour of listening. The first 45% of the story dealt with a long introduction starting from the grandparents' leaving their old country to come to America with new lives. Then, the story of her parents blending modern American culture with their Greek heritage.
Though the background wasn't bad, it took too long for the main story/plot to come into view. Before reaching the year 1974 in the story, I was just half listening with little interest, and left it for about two weeks. I came back because it would eventually unfold to Cal's story.
