Hello, hello, hello

The Echo Wife

This was my first time reading this author, and I really enjoyed the writing style.

The Echo Wife is a mind-bending mash-up of horror, science fiction, and a dash of female rage. All told in a highly sophisticated, clearly well-researched format.

Evelyn Caldwell is an award-winning scientist whose groundbreaking clone research is set to change the world. However, her technique was also used to create her clone, Martine. A demure, loving, kind, and, most importantly, obedient replica who is currently having an affair with Evelyn's husband. The scenario her cheating husband created ultimately ends in his death, and both the Caldwell women are left to clean up the mess he's left behind.

Gailey's writing is superb, and the symbolism for the cyclic nature of abuse and the plight of being a woman in a world made for men is genius! I was left pondering the book's surprising ending and why the author chose to end it that way, long after the final page.

I highly recommend this one!
