MIDDLESEX by Jeffrey EugenidesRead about the other books on the list.
Someone gave me this and it sat on a shelf for years because I live in Middlesex and couldn't think of anything I wanted to read about less.
But it's actually a gloriously colourful, funny, touching story about a hermaphrodite and an interesting insight into what gender is.
Middlesex is among Sam Mills's top ten fictional sex changes.
