'Moving, courageous and enlightening. Inconceivable is essential reading for anyone who believes that families are built from more than just blood. Quite simply, this is a book that needed to exist in the world' ELIZABETH DAY, author of ONE OF US

'A fascinating blend of memoir and investigative reporting, of science and love, with the page turning quality of a novel. The sentences feel immaculately sculpted, the sentiments feel universal yet beautifully specific. I loved it and could not put it down’ SARA COLLINS, author of THE CONFESSIONS OF FRANNIE LANGTON

'I found it fascinating — an impassioned and compassionate call for truth, however delicate and compromising it can be. I ended the book with the sense that, like one of the scientists whose work she so compellingly champions, Coxon has taken a microscope to life and conception and family, in all their fragile complexity' MARINA KEMP, author of THE UNWILDING

‘A sperm donor baby who finds out by accident, donates her own eggs and then ends up having IVF? It is an extraordinary story’ TIMES MAGAZINE

‘Coxon writes beautifully… The story is full of twists and dramatic reveals but it is the writing, and Coxon’s ability to integrate her own broad hinterland of experience and knowledge, that really make this fine book… fascinating… There are no neat endings, but there is one hell of a journey, during which she reflects, wisely and powerfully, on the most basic truths of family and love’ IRISH INDEPENDENT
