註釋At a finger buffet held at 24 Beech Drive on the day of Charles and Diana s wedding, Rebecca Monroe s mother locked herself in the bathroom and never came out. Was it because her squidgy chocolate log collapsed? Because Rebecca s grandmother married her first cousin? Or can we never know why we do what we do? According to Rebecca s scientist husband, our genes control our fate, but Rebecca is less sure. Can science explain everything? Love? Chance? Who shot JR? Intertwining relationships between husbands and wives, mothers and daughters, sisters and aunts, go to the heart of this tragicomic history of one British family; where Man about the House and The Joy of Sex conjoin with family life and the scientific method, Carole Cadwalladr asks the most fundamental of questions: who, how and why we are.
