The Seed Collectors by Scarlett Thomas
After a formidable great-aunt dies, her eccentric, botanically minded family inherits cryptic bequests—including mysterious seed pods rumored to confer either enlightenment or death—triggering a cascade of rivalries, desires, and self-sabotage. As cousins and spouses collide across gardens, retreats, and academic corridors, marriages fray, addictions flare, and old grievances bloom, haunted by the legacy of vanished plant hunters. Darkly comic and sharply observed, the story probes inheritance, grief, and the perilous allure of transcendence.
