An unknown daughter emerges from the past and tears a marriage in two. A mother tries to bring to life the frozen embryo of her dead child. Two love affairs are born from the forbidden and end in the commonplace, and friends, honest and dishonest, betray and support each other. The novel explores kinship of the cells, of convention and of choice, of nature and of technology, with love always playing the most absurd and decisive part.
