The Books Oracle

A Botanical Daughter

by Noah Medlock

In their Victorian glass sanctuary, gentlemen Simon and Gregor live free from London's disapproving gaze, pursuing botanical obsessions. When they attempt to create a botanical daughter—a woman grown from plants—their experiment yields unexpected consciousness and desire. A lush, strange gothic that interweaves queer love, scientific ambition, and the uncanny life force of the natural world.
