Middlesex, Jeffrey Eugenides.

isbn: 0747561621, gives a mention to this (my blog) and an interesting comparison with Detroit.  The ford motor company mental health police* also shape this tale which won the Pulitzer in 2003 (the book is not going anywhere).

I picked this up on ‘list’ of the decade, it was the only book that sounded interesting out of too many.

The book deals with a large slice of time, and it can wander about but it keeps a pace and concludes well

5/5 bananas.

* explains why Ford ‘strange’ had zero profits for many years
