Items related to The Family Tree
This is the story of a woman who looks back at her family history, from 1940s Yorkshire, to 1970s suburbia, to her present-day marriage to a geneticist, and comes to terms with her own mother's breakdown and the hereditary dysfunctional gene she might be carrying.

From the Back Cover:
"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. Through the eyes of a character so honest and doggedly hopeful, we see our own selves." --Jacquelyn Mitchard
"This is a jewel of a book. I loved it. Carol Cadwalladr is remarkably talented, and a very funny writer." --Anna Maxted
"Weeks after finishing The Family Tree, I catch myself wondering how the Monroe family is getting on. Full of interesting facts, expertly and seamlessly slipped into a compelling narrative, Carole Cadwalladr has written a wonderful novel that is hilarious and tragic at the same time." --Emily Barr
