Book description
With only a schizophrenic mother and a militantly hostile sister for
backup, Hazel Sugden, food-splattered mum and queen of low
self-esteem, is palpably unfit to save the future of mankind as we
know it. But when embryology, psychiatry and religion clash over the
miracle designer drug Genetic Choice, the dysfunctional trio are
propelled into action with explosively comic results….
Liz Jensen is the author of Egg Dancing (long-listed for
the Orange Prize), Ark Baby (shortlisted for the Guardian
Fiction Prize and long-listed for the Orange Prize), The Paper
Eater, War Crimes for the Home (long-listed for the Orange
Prize), and The Ninth Life of Louis Drax, currently in
development as a major motion picture by Anthony Minghella. She
divides her time between Copenhagen and London.
