The magnificent story of Calliope Stephanides and three generations of the Greek-American Stephanides family is told in Middlesex. The Stephanides family traveled from a small village in Asia Minor overlooking Mount Olympus to Detroit during Prohibition, where they saw the city's heyday as the Motor City and the 1967 race riots before relocating to the tree-lined streets of suburban Grosse Pointe, Michigan. Calliope must discover a shameful family secret and the startling genetic background that transforms Callie into Cal, one of the most daring and amazing narrators in modern literature, in order to comprehend why she is different from other girls. Middlesex is a stunning retelling of the American epic that is lyrical and exciting.
