The family tree / Carole Cadwalladr.

Summary:

On the day Lady Diana married Prince Charles, Rebeccas mother locked herself in the bathroom of 24 Beech Drive and never came out. Was it because the holiday dinner didnt turn out just right? Because Rebeccas grandmother married her first cousin? Or was she simply, unalterably unhappy? According to Rebeccas scientist husband, our genes control our fate, but Rebecca isnt so sure. Leaving everything to science allows little room for the events that shape our lives. Looking for clues in a family history filled with three generations of mistaken marriages, dubiously fathered children, and hand-me-down sayings, Rebecca discovers she is just one piece of a family history that is still unravelingand she wonders if events of the past are destined to repeat themselves in her own childs future.
