Description
A young American academic, Talissa Adam, makes a life-changing decision to carry another woman's child, unaware of the consequences that will unfold. An experiment at the Parn Institute, involving IVF treatments, aims to push the boundaries of ethics, but the outcome is far from predictable. As the child, Seth, grows, he begins to exhibit differences that set him apart from his peers, attracting unwanted attention. The novel explores the complexities of what it means to be human, raising questions about the ethics of scientific advancements and the consequences of playing with nature. Set against the backdrop of New York, London, and the Scottish Highlands, The Seventh Son is a thought-provoking novel that delves into the themes of love, power, and responsibility.
