Blood Matters by M Gessen
'Intensely moving ... what makes Gessen's book different is that she has used her considerable research skills as a journalist to set out what human genetics can and can't do' Guardian
'Blood Matters is about far more than Gessen's own storyShe writes energetically - about the grander context in which her personal drama takes place - The book's enduring memory is Gessen's intelligence and wit as she's staring down the barrel of a gun'- The Scotsman'Gessen argues that in a generation we will discuss our genetic inheritance in the same way that we discuss social class and other environmental influences on character nowadays. It's a superb read.' - The Times'A brave, passionate and well-written book' - Sunday Times'Gessen argues that in future, genetic information will transform our lives - she renders complicated concepts accessible and easy to digest' - Guardian
