Title: Warning: not for men
Review: This novel purports to explore an issue of reliance on sibling donation to rescue a sibling from medical danger. In this case, it's a daughter conceived to be a donor to her older sister, suffering from leukemia. However, since the cast of characters never seems to have a conversation that lasts more than three exchanges before blowing up, nothing ever really gets explored. What we have is 400 pages of endless feelings - guilt, jealousy, anger, resentment, bitterness, anxiety, blah, blah, blah - capped by a prepostrously tacked-on twist at the end. If you want to read for empathy alone, this one's for you. If you're looking for a well-written, thoughtful, provocative novel, don't go here.
