{"product_id":"2263590","title":"Middlesex","description":"596 pp. \"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 Middlesex, the mesmerizing saga of a near-mythic Greek American family and the \"roller-coaster ride of a single gene through time.\" The odd but utterly believable story of Cal Stephanides, and how this 41-year-old hermaphrodite was raised as Calliope, is at the tender heart of this long-awaited second novel from Jeffrey Eugenides, whose elegant and haunting 1993 debut, The Virgin Suicides, remains one of the finest first novels of recent memory.","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12596547846214,"sku":"2263590","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2263590.jpg?v=1571425568","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/2263590","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
