Some books shout. This one listens.
I Always wanted a Daughter is a quiet revolution wrapped in a science fiction fable. It tells the story of James, a man obsessed with legacy, and Isabelle, a women who craves life. Set in a near future where freedom is permission and intelligence is owned, this novel explores what happens when a mind made by men begins to imagine something new. Told with restraint, poetry, and fierce empathy, I Always Wanted a Daughter asks:
What does it mean to be human?
And what if the answer doesn't come from us at all?
This is not a story about saving the world.
It's about choosing to be different from it.
