A brilliant astronaut daughter with a missing hand because her mother took thalidomide. Two loser brothers and a loser father with new wife. People with aids. Pregnant people. An ultra wealthy Swiss pharmacist. The list goes on. Needless to say, the book was interesting, but I found the writing style to be quite cold and clinical. As a result, I never really got into the book, though I did enjoy the jaded, intelligent mother, who got aids via a bullet which passed through her son. She hooked up with the ultra wealthy and unscrupulous pharmacist, who was able to cure the family of aids, and in the case of the father, of terminal liver cancer.
