The fin-de-siecle has taken grip.The absurd but dangerous evangelist is preaching of miracles and moral apocalypse,while in Manxheath Institute of Challenged Stability,a phantom pregnancy takes alarmingly solid shape.An atmosphere broods over the DIY hypermarkets of Gridiron City,and over three women - one a certified lunatic,another at risk of becoming one,and the third a fanatic in search of a cause.Moira Sugden,long-term resident of Manxheath,and her daughters Hazel and Linda,are disunited by the self-inflicted wounds of the family,and cornered by sex,God and medication into varying states of delusion.But when Hazel makes frightening discoveries about the scientific research of her gynaecologist husband,they join shaky forces against the drug called Genetic Choice.Too late to stop the birth of the perfect baby and its imperfect counterpart.Too late to stop the collision course of fantasy and reality. But not too late for a piercingly funny and blackly ironic revenge on genetic engineering and the born-again Church. Author's debut novel.Uncommon,low print run for debut novel.See also rja25077 [ARK BABY] for another title by this author.
