Nuclear Family Summary

Nuclear Family by Kate Davies

From the Polari Prize-winning author of IN AT THE DEEP END

When Lena buys DNA testing kits for her father Tom and her twin sister Alison, she thinks they'll enjoy finding out where their ancestors come from, and what percentage Neanderthal they are. She has no idea the gift will blow her family apart.

Tom is forced to admit that he isn't his daughters' biological father: he and his late wife, Sheila, used a sperm donor. He's terrified Lena and Alison will reject him, and desperate to win back their trust - whatever it takes.

Alison thinks DNA doesn't matter. She and her wife are trying to start a family using donor sperm, too. To her, Tom is their dad, and that's that.

But Lena becomes obsessed with tracking down their biological father. And when she discovers she has a half-brother - an actor with a blue tick on Instagram - she becomes obsessed with him, too...

From the author of the Polari Prize-winning In at the Deep End, this is a very funny and deeply moving novel about identity, donor conception and what it means to be a family.

Nuclear Family Reviews

Praise for IN AT THE DEEP END:

'The afterparty book for anyone looking to extend their Fleabag fun. Newly published, Davies' book is raucous, sexy, poignant and smart, and is definitely the most fun you will have with lesbian BDSM short of doing it yourself' Hadley Freeman, Guardian

'Brilliant! The best thing I've read in AGES. I can't remember the last time a book made me laugh so hard' Gill Sims, author of Why Mummy Drinks

'A frank, very funny and, at times, filthy exploration of sex, love and self-understanding ... brilliant' Stylist

'Fleabag-level dirty jokes, Eleanor Oliphant-levels of empathy... Fresh, funny and filthy' Grazia

'[A] fresh and funny lesbian coming-of-age adventure ... a Sapphic sexual odyssey' Guardian

'Frank, funny and fabulously filthy, but also tender and moving. Every woman should own a copy of this book' Erin Kelly

'Utterly original, hilarious' The Times
