Title: The Cloning of Joanna May - Softcover
This novel is as much about split personality and the components of the self as it is about genetic engineering with all its concomitant ethical and legal implications.

Review:
From the Back Cover:
‘The deadly accuracy of Fay Weldon’s psychology makes this bizarre tale a compulsive page-turner’
Daily Mail
‘A triumph of complex entertainment’
The Times
Joanna May thought herself unique, indivisible – until one day, she discovered herself to be five: though childless she was a mother: though an only child she was surrounded by sisters young enough to be her daughters – the clones of Joanna May.
How will they withstand the shock of first meeting? And what of the avenging Carl, Joanna’s former husband and the clones’ creator; will he take revenge for his wife’s infidelity and destroy her sisters one by one?
In this astonishing novel, Fay Weldon weaves a web of paradox quite awesome in its cunning. Probing into the strange world of genetic engineering, 'The Cloning of Joanna May' raises frightening questions about our identity as individuals – and provides some startling answers. Funny, serious, revolutionary, this is the work of a master storyteller at the height of her powers.
“A triumph of complex entertainment”
