Middlesex

"I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day in January of 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of 1974."

And so begins Jeffrey Eugenides's Middlesex, one of the best books I have read in a long time. Recommended to me by my husband I highly recommend it.
