Fiction
Lucy Morrigan, a young genetic researcher, lives with her
boyfriend, Gray, and an odd collection of tenants in her
crumbling family mansion. Surrounded by four generations of
clothes, photographs, furniture, and other remnants of past
lives, Lucy and Gray’s home life is strangely out of touch
with the modern world—except for Lucy’s high-tech lab in the
basement. Frustrated by her unsuccessful attempts to attain motherhood
or tenure, Lucy takes drastic measures to achieve both.
Using a bloodstained scrap of an apron found in the attic,
Lucy successfully clones her grandmother Mary. But rather
than conjuring a new baby, Lucy brings to life a
twenty-two-year-old Mary, who is confused and disoriented
when she finds herself trapped in the strangest sort of déjà
vu: alive in a home that is no longer her own, surrounded by
reminders of a life she has already lived but doesn’t remember. A remarkable debut novel, Mary Modern turns an unflinching
eye on the joyous, heartbreaking, and utterly unexpected
consequences of human desire.
