about the author

Lynette Lowthian has worked as a journalist and editor all her professional life, and she also teaches creative writing and journalism. She’s met and interviewed an incredibly diverse range of people in her career—from politicians, authors, actors and TV personalities to families in crisis and campaigners for disability rights. ‘I’m obsessed with people, what haunts them, what drives them and why they do the things they do. And I love to write about them,’ she says. The Gene Genie is her first novel, and she’s now at work on her second. 

about the book

Do you ever escape emotional scars handed down by your parents?Can you change the path of destiny? It’s 1978. The winter of discontent brings Britain to its knees, the world’s first test tube baby is born...and the Sex Pistols play their last gig together. In a downbeat London suburb, teenager Emily Enderbie gives birth to twins, Annie and Bea. Separated at birth in shocking circumstances, the girls face very different futures. Raising vital questions about family, identity, pain and loss, the book explores the way the past stalks the present and the enduring heartache passed from one generation to the next.
