an endearing new look at what it means to be a family

This is a warm, intelligent novel which asks how importantbiology is to individual identity. It's a mother-daughter talewhich is also a belated coming-of-age novel focused on a pair of women who achieve their brand of wholeness through complexity. Enough alike to seem related, enough different to generate tension, they confront most of the basic questions we ought to think about when we mention family.
