Reproduction by Ian Williams

When Felicia, a young immigrant caregiver, and Edgar, a wealthy married man, meet in a hospital room, their brief connection sets off a chain of events that echo through generations. Years later, their children’s lives intersect in unpredictable ways, mirroring the chaotic patterns of love, family, and inheritance. Through inventive structure and piercing emotional insight, Reproduction traces the tangled roots of human relationships — how people form, fracture, and rebuild families in unexpected shapes. Tender, witty, and profound, it is a story about the accidents that bring us together and the choices that define who we become.
