Description
Benedict Lambert's quest to understand heredity is one of urgency and personal significance. Afflicted by achondroplasia, he struggles to come to terms with his condition as a dwarf.
A chance meeting sets him on a path towards correcting the injustice of his genes, but this pursuit comes at a devastating cost. This witty novel explores scientific intrigue and moral uncertainty in an engaging tale that is both intelligent and entertaining.
