An Evening with Rebecca Coxon

About this event

We are delighted to welcome Rebecca Coxon to Waterstones Nottingham to celebrate the release of her moving memoir, Inconceivable.

A beautiful and timeless memoir about family in all its forms, from television documentary director, Rebecca Coxon.

When Rebecca Coxon uploaded her genetic data to an ancestry website, she had no idea of the chain reaction it would spark. Confronted by the shocking discovery that her father was not biologically related to her, the secrets revealed by her genes would alter her understanding of identity and family forever.

In this deeply honest and intimate memoir, Rebecca – a donor-conceived IVF triplet who has donated her eggs and undergone fertility treatment herself – shares her remarkable story. It’s one of family secrets, shame, resilience and warmth, offering a profound glimpse into the consequences of how we choose to create new life.

Written with nuance and tenderness, Inconceivable is a beautiful meditation on our place within history and the wider universe and, above all else, a love letter to family in all its forms.

Inconceivable is the launch title on from Big Day: a new publishing imprint from 4th Estate and Elizabeth Day

Rebecca will talk about her new bookbefore an audience Q&A and book signing.

Rebecca Coxon is a television documentary director with a background in investigative journalism. She won the ‘Debut Director’ award at Edinburgh TV Festival’s New Voice Awards in 2020. Her credits include: BBC Panorama, 24 Hours in Police Custody and Ambulance.
