Simply one of the best novels I've ever read. Eugenides weaves a magical tale about Calliope/Cal Stephanides' life and family tree, spanning the 20th century - from Greece to Detroit. I could not tear myself away from this book - it was THAT interesting and well written. To those who say "too much backstory", I argue that the backstory was the best component of this book! Absolutely a keeper for me.
