But there's a provocative twist. Cal, the narrator -- also Callie -- is an hermaphrodite. And the explanation for this takes us spooling back in time, through a breathtaking review of the twentieth century, to 1922, when the Turks sacked Smyrna and Callie's grandparents fled for their lives. Back to a tiny village in Asia Minor where two lovers, and one rare genetic mutation, set our narrator's life in motion. 650 0 $a Greek Americans $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Grosse Pointe (Mich.) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Detroit (Mich.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gender identity $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Intersexuality $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Teenagers $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcsh 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 gsafd 856 42 $z Additional Information at Google Books $u http://books.google.com/books?isbn=0312422156 941 $a 32 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20210714013504.0 952 $l BLPC611 $d 20201204010157.0 952 $l UEPA943 $d 20201013121230.0 952 $l MMPE553 $d 20201013060207.0 952 $l DJPD353 $d 20201013020938.0 952 $l FRPA224 $d 20191112014617.0 952 $l MTPB743 $d 20180906030125.0 952 $l NQPA983 $d 20180905041903.0 952 $l MRPB553 $d 20180905033328.0 952 $l HZPA135 $d 20150721010102.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20150404030206.0 952 $l PBPC546 $d 20150213104830.0 952 $l CWPB586 $d 20140827012826.0 952 $l GIPC251 $d 20110114012400.0 952 $l ZLPD437 $d 20100805023833.0 952 $l YDPC572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l SHPC094 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l RPPA397 $m F EUG $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OTAX626 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OAAX516 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l LHPD057 $m FIC $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l KIPA631 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l FOPB224 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l FBPC124 $m F EUG $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l EPPA725 $m F EUG $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l EAPA384 $m eapa384 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l BYPB851 $m F Eug $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l A2PD787 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E153382E2B0411DEA75DDE07A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOKInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
