The Colony

Más información sobre el libro

Set against the backdrop of a cutting-edge research colony, a young teacher grapples with societal pressures to change her identity due to a rare genetic condition. While resisting the experimental procedure aimed at "curing" her missing leg, she navigates complex relationships, including a budding romance with Nick, who carries a different genetic burden. As she befriends historical figures like Charles Darwin and confronts her past, she explores themes of self-acceptance, love, and the ethics of genetic intervention.
