When Rebecca Monroe—married to Alistair, a scientist who doesn't believe in fate, but rather genetic disposition—discovers that she is pregnant, she begins to question what makes us who we are and whether her own precarious family history will.

British journalist Cadwalladr’s debut, structured as a graduate thesis on pop culture in lateth- century Britain, explores three generations of family relationships, beginning in WWII. Narrator Rebecca moves back and forth between her present life of marriage to Alistair, a behavioral geneticist who doesn’t want children, and her childhood as the daughter of manic-depressive Doreen. The intertwining relationships of mothers and daughters, sisters and brothers, and husbands and wives go to the heart of "The Family Tree" as it transcends the story of one woman and her family to become an indelible and resonant novel in which author Carole Cadwalladr ponders what truly makes us who we are. The Family Tree is her first novel. BACKCOVER: "The very cleverness of its central motif--a dissertation on the expression of genetic traits, mostly through the evidence of prime-time soap opera--makes The Family Tree a notable debut. Carole Cadwalladr takes the reader deep under the skin of one unhappy, even cursed and yet utterly ordinary family.
