The author of two beloved novels, Middlesex (bestselling winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize) and the now classic The Virgin Suicides, is back-with a brilliant, funny, and heartbreaking novel about the glories and vicissitudes of young love. The triangle in this amazing and delicious novel about a generation beginning to grow up is age-old, and completely fresh and surprising. With devastating wit, irony, and an abiding understanding of and love for his characters, Jeffrey Eugenides resuscitates the original energies of the novel while creating a story so contemporary that it reads like the intimate journal of our own lives.
