Jeffrey Eugenides' Pulitzer Prize-winning epic traces three generations of a Greek-American family, built around one of literature's most unforgettable narrators: Calliope Stephani des. Sweeping from 1920s Asia Minor to 1970s Detroit, this is a dazzling exploration of identity, inheritance, and the mythology we build around ourselves. Eugenides weaves together the immigrant experience, family secrets, and a deeply personal coming-of-age with remarkable wit and tenderness. Perfect for readers who love ambitious, genre-defying fiction that tackles big questions with heart and humour. Show more
