Great book, which I keep thinking about days after I finished. It's not only about the author's 76-year-old father and his decision to transition to being a woman, but also manages to be an absorbing history of WWII, Jews, and rampant anti-semitism in Hungary, which continues today. Oh, and feminism and abusive relationships and broader identity issues.
