The Family Tree
The Family Tree | Sheri S. Tepper
3 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
Police officer Dora Henry is investigating the bizarre murders of three geneticists. Meanwhile, strange things are happening everywhere she turns. Weeds are becoming trees; trees are becoming forests. Overnight a city is being transformed into a wild and verdant place. And, strangest of all, Dora can somehow communicate with the rampaging flora. A potential civilization-ending catastrophe is in the making. The nearer Dora gets to a murderer - and to the truth - the more seemingly desperate events begin to entwine. And the answers she seeks today to the salvation of humankind may lie in a far distant future . . . one which is suddenly much closer than anyone imagines.

A warm & slightly humid but quite lovely Saturday night read c/o citronella candles, a light breeze & a very tired toddler. Sometimes summer in DC is just delightful.

Hope y‘all are having a great weekend!

#riotgrams / day 15 / #favoritetwist I read this in my early twenties (not my first Tepper, but among the earlier ones). When I got to the twist I think my eyeballs practically fell out of my head! SHOCKED, I tell you! I highly recommend reading Sheri S. Tepper if you haven't already.

Booksnob Love this book! 7y

Although it's been years since I read this book and I hardly remember any details, I still remember how utterly blindsided I was by the twist. Even singling out this book for its anthropomorphic characters is a spoiler so I was hesitant to make it my post, but it's the book that keeps coming to mind. That's what the spoiler wall is for! Anybody else read this one? #feistyfeb

aubergine123 This is a favorite of mine. The twist was amazing. Liked the concept that nature started taking things back. 8y
