Synopsis
How many parents does it take to make a baby? In the case of Rosalind Melrose Smithson it took four: one birth mother; one legal father; one interfering neighbor; and one turkey baster filled with the defrosted essence of an anonymous donor. Or not so anonymous, as it turned out. For donor no. 116349, "6ft 1in, blue eyes, blond hair, BA (Oxon), action man," is the 9th Earl of Dilberne, who gave his seed back in 1979 as a stripling of 22, and has now conceived a daughter—unknowingly—at the riper age of 42. As they say, the truth will out. And what will our Rozzie do when she finds out about her patrimony? All we know is that as a true Millennial, she will not take it lying down.

Review
"Lively . . . wry social satire." —New York Times on Before the War
“Envy the reader of Before the War who has never read anything by Fay Weldon. That reader is about to be changed by Weldon’s trademark voice.” —Washington Post on Before the War
"Featuring a cast of oddball characters and astute observations about courtship, family, and what it means to be human, Weldon’s novel crackles with erudite writing evocative of the time period. This is a complex character study filled with wit and wisdom about family, society, and the restrictions both can place on women." ―Publishers Weekly on Before the War
