Endangered species - Louis Bayard

Driven by an inexplicable but driving certainty that his family are on the brink of extinction, Nick Broome vows to bring a child into the world by whatever means necessary. The problem? Nick is gay. Alternately moving and very, very funny, Nick's search for a way to leave a mark on the world and his quest for a surrogate mother, bring him into contact with a host of bizarre characters and straight to the heart of the evolving nature of love and family. By the author of the critically acclaimed 'Fool's Errand'.
