Summary
A generational family tale of a man, his daughter, and all their descendants. For four generations, nobody from outside the family contributes to their family tree. A tale of a family tree so unusual, it couldn't be drawn outside of 3-dimensional geometry! ~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~ Raising children is...tense. You have these two things, the most precious things in all the world and they're all clumsy and incapable, so you spend a lot of time making sure they're safe. Then, as they grow able to do some things for themselves, you worry about them, because they're no longer with you all the time. It's like a part of your body--the most precious, valuable part of your body--had been cut off and left alone somewhere, supposedly being looked after, but you didn't know if that was true. Small wonder that a lot of mothers lose it and go ultra-protective of their children. Daddy helped, of course. He'd been through all this with me and knew that it was necessary to let go sometimes, to let our children develop their own personality. "Just like you did," he'd say and I couldn't argue with him, not logically. But it didn't change the way that I felt. Simon and Nicola got on well at school, so it seemed, they were close to each other--probably because they were twins. They did their fair share of bickering, like all siblings do, but underneath it they loved each other and were quite protective of each other. Nicola proved the more dominant of the pair, possibly because she was the eldest (by a few minutes), a fact she never tired of reminding her brother of. And then they became teenagers. And all of a sudden, nothing was easy any more. They no longer listened to what I said, no longer accepted what I said as being right and acted up, it seemed, intentionally to annoy me. I couldn't understand it.
