Annabelle | 2 comments Hi, looking for a book i read not that long ago but cant for the life of me remember the title or author. I have a feeling it was written quite a while ago. Its written from multiple perspectives.
POV 1: a girl kills pigs and sends samples of them to a company, its how she earns money. And one day decides to send her own DNA to them and see what happens. She doesn’t hear from them about that. She goes to talk to the company, based in Sydney i think. And finds a pig with her DNA in it. I believe she lives in a very small country town, and her mother is quite religious. Pretty sure she has a brother.

POV 2: A young man loses his license and gets a new job with this company and basically cleans pig poop all day. He lives with his grandfather and is engaged to young lady. He finds that the pigs are growing human tissue on them for farming for transplants and that one of the pigs seems to understand everything. Turns out that pig has human DNA.

Thanks in advance for any help in finding it again.
