À propos de cet audio
Sarah Gailey's The Echo Wife is “a trippy domestic thriller which takes the extramarital affair trope in some intriguingly weird new directions.”--Entertainment Weekly
I’m embarrassed, still, by how long it took me to notice. Everything was right there in the open, right there in front of me, but it still took me so long to see the person I had married.
It took me so long to hate him.
Martine is a genetically cloned replica made from Evelyn Caldwell’s award-winning research. She’s patient and gentle and obedient. She’s everything Evelyn swore she’d never be.
And she’s having an affair with Evelyn’s husband.
Now, the cheating bastard is dead, and both Caldwell wives have a mess to clean up.
Good thing Evelyn Caldwell is used to getting her hands dirty.
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books

Evelyn, the main protagonist, is a very brilliant, ambitious, driven, obsessive scientist. At the start of the book (omg that first chapter – stunning) wins a prestigious award for her cloning research. However, what should be her triumph is completely overtaken by the fact that she knows her husband stole her research and has left her for her ‘Stepford Wife’ version clone. And if you think you know how the novel is going to go from there, you are so wrong.
I want to continue, to explain how the lifelong domestic abuse brings a character who is such an unreliable narrator that others have to explain emotional currency, a character who has been trained to be an inobservant observer. But if I explain it will create spoilers, let me just say this will stay with you long after you have read this novel.
Narration was excellent, giving Evelyn the needed emotionlessness needed. But I do wish that the acknowledgements at the end of the book has been included (some of which are chilling)
Disturbing, Brilliant, Domestic Thriller
