Middlesex is an engaging story told by Calliope Stephanides, a third generation Greek-American. Calliope's story begins long before her birth, in a small town in Turkey. Our omniscient narrator tells her story and that of her family in such an engaging way, I found it incredibly difficult to stay away from Middlesex for long. It was a truly enjoyable read, filled with excellent narration and memorable characters.
