Helpful Score: 1

My absolute favorite book. I read this one over months in small installments because I never wanted it to end. The romance between Lefty and Desdemona, the Stephanides family matriarch and patriarch was especially gripping--even though you know ahead of time that the choice they're making will hurt the family, you can't help but be sympathetic. Recommended to anyone who loves a juicy but well-written family saga. I can't wait for Eugenides' next book.
