The Echo Wife

A researcher's achievement in cloning returns as an intimate violation when it enters her marriage. Gailey uses the domestic thriller's close attention to resentment, control and self-justification to ask what a created person can be expected to become. The scientific leap is easy to grasp; the harder work is deciding how much to trust a highly capable narrator. Choose this for a compact, disturbing story in which professional ethics and private power cannot be kept apart.
