Guardian Bookshop Notes:

B format edition of Eugenides' Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. His long-awaited second novel, following his widely acclaimed debut, "The Virgin Suicides". Covering eight decades and one extremely awkward adolescence, this is a brilliant literary fable exploring family relationships and the intricacies of gender. "Superb...a warm and beautifully written novel that illuminates the part of the human soul that even biology cannot reach" "Sunday Times".
