Jeffrey Eugenides, 1993

I loved Middlesex, so i thought I would probably like this novel too, and I was right. It was weird, because it is about obsession and suicide, but also not-weird, because we all feel sometimes the inability to truly know another person. I love his writing and I do plan to read his other work at some point.
