The Family Tree by Sheri S Tepper
Trees have suddenly become rampant in our near future. Growing at a fantastic rate, obscuring roads and drives, taking over unoccupied rooms in houses - and possibly the cause of disappearing babies. In this world, police officer Dora Henry investigates the murders of three geneticists.
From reviews of Gibbon's Decline and Fall: 'The Women's Room invaded by Big BrotherA provocative, devastating, enthralling consciousness raiser' Kirkus Reviews 'Visceral and arresting. Curl up with it' FT 'Opening as near-future realism, the novel metamorphoses into a mythical telling of the struggle between those who desire domination and the forces of balance and harmony.' New Scientist 'As always, Tepper creates excellent female characters transported by a swiftly flowing plot' PW 'Tepper never forgets to give the reader a gripping story on which to hang the serious concerns that lie at the root of her books ... she shows how taking responsibility for one's own life and actions can become a kind of butterfly effect' Fantasy and Science Fiction
