Far from the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity by Andrew Solomon

3.0

Some amazing insight and discussion of what Solomon terms horizontal identities (those we come by in life but are not born into directly through our parents and ancestry, for example deafness). But this book was WAY too long to read the whole thing. Read the chapters that deal with identities that you particularly relate to or are interested in and skip the rest of the 1000 pages. Amazing book, but just too big.
