Pleasant Easter Sunday weather. Sunny, and warm once you stay out of the cool breeze. Showers threatening this afternoon, but nothing materialising as yet.
I finished Jeffrey Eugenides’ Middlesex this morning. Excellent novel that really engages you with the story and characters. It came highly recommended and lived up to expectations.
The story of a modern day hermaphrodite, it is also the story of European immigrants in 20th century America – a Greek family living in Detroit in this case. The story about the protagonist’s gender issues is central, but doesn’t dominate a tale of family, relationships, growing up and death.
