2014 December Meeting - Middlesex

The final meeting of the year was held at a local food stop - Sal Rose.  It may have been a bit noisy and cramped, but the food was great and the company was amazing.  And there appears to have been a photographer or two in our midst!

We did manage to discuss the book while enjoying the food and drinks.

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

The story of Calliope Stephanides' transformation into Val begins, "I was born twice: first as a baby girl in January of 1960; and then again as a teenage boy in August of 1974." Middlesex spans three generations, crosses two continents, from a small Greek village to the streets of Detroit, covers historical events and reveals family secrets as Cal sets out to discover himself by tracing the story of his family.
