An astonishing audiobook that probes into the strange world of genetic engineering.
Joanna May thought herself unique, indivisible β until one day, to her hideous shock, she discovered herself to be five: though childless she was a mother; though an only child she was surrounded by sisters young enough to be her daughers β Jane, Julie, Gina and Alice, the clones of Joanna May.
How will they withstand the shock of first meeting? And what of the avenging Carl, Joannaβs former husband and the clonesβ creator: will he take revenge for his wifeβs infidelity and destroy her sisters one by one?
In this astonishing novel, Fay Weldon weaves a web of paradox quite awesome in its cunning. Probing into the strange world of genetic engineering, The Cloning of Joanna May raises frightening questions about our identity as individuals β and provides some startling answers. Funny, serious, revolutionary, this is the work of a master storyteller at the height of her powers.
