The Echo Wife: A dark, fast-paced unsettling domestic thriller (English Edition) Kindle版

英語版 Sarah Gailey (著) 形式: Kindle版

すべての形式と版を表示

A dark and suspenseful novel of lies, betrayal, and identity - perfect for fans of Big Little Lies and Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror.

It was meant to be an evening to honour and celebrate Evelyn Caldwell's award-winning, career-making scientific research - but Evelyn has things on her mind.

Things like Nathan, her husband, who has left her for a younger, better, newer woman. A woman who is now pregnant - but shouldn't be - and is strikingly familiar. Too familiar to be a coincidence.

A woman who shouldn't exist.

The Echo Wife is a propulsive new novel from an international rising star about identity, murder, and the choices society forces women to make.

********************************

Readers LOVE The Echo Wife

'I read it in just under 24 hours, finding it hard to put down. It was deeply unsettling in places, but very intriguing'

'As well as being a generally intriguing read, there are some jaw-dropping twists and shockers that I absolutely didn't see coming, there was just so much going on in this book and I couldn't put it down'

'A powerful, tightly-written story that expertly deploys its themes of abuse, trauma and personhood. I enjoyed this immensely, and highly recommend it'

'This book is a prime example of what a psychological suspense thriller should be! By far, it's my favourite thriller read so far this year'

'I was enthralled from early on - the author littered little bits of intrigue and then delivered a great twist which meant I was hooked'

クローンの第一人者の女性科学者の夫が浮気した相手は妻のクローンだった、というSF設定の心理スリラー

2021年2月28日に日本でレビュー済み

シンプルなジャンルを超える小説は珍しくないが、これは、SFの要素を持ちながらも、実際には現在非常に人気がある「心理スリラー」のジャンルに属するフィクションといえる。

主人公のエヴリンは、栄誉ある賞を受賞した著名な女性科学者である。クローン分野の第一人者として、著名人のボディダブル、臓器移植のためのクローンを生み出している。人間のクローン作成は倫理上許されていなかったのだが、作成するのはツールであり「人間」ではないという主張で許可されていた。作成したクローンは必要とされる時期が過ぎたら処分される決まりだった。

キャリアの頂点に達したエヴリンだが、私生活では苦悩していた。夫のネイサンが浮気をしていたことだけでもショックだったのだが、その相手がなんと自分のクローンだったのだ。浮気がバレたネイサンは、謝るどころか家を出てクローンのマルティーンと一緒に住み始めた。周囲の者はエヴリンとネイサンが離婚することは知っているが、新しい婚約者が誰なのかは知らない。

夫の浮気相手のマルティーンから喫茶店に呼び出されたエヴリンは彼女が妊娠していることを知って憤る。彼女がキャリアのために妊娠と出産を拒否したので、夫は妻を自分の理想の女に作り変えたのだ。だが、それよりも大きな問題がある。クローンは人権を持つ「人間」ではないし、生殖できないはずなのだ。これが明るみに出たら、科学者としての自分のキャリアは破壊される。犯罪を犯したのが夫であっても関係ない。怒りにまかせて、エヴリンはマルティーンを傷付ける言葉を投げかけた。

その後、パニック状態のマルティーンから電話がかかり、エヴリンはしぶしぶながら夫が婚約者と住んでいる家を訪問した。そこで彼女を待ち受けていたのは、ネイサンの血まみれの死体だった。警察を呼ぶことはできない。なぜなら、マルティーンはこの世に存在しないはずの人物であり、殺されたのは自分を裏切った夫だ。どう言い訳をしても、自分の人生は破壊される。仕方なく、エヴリンはマルティーンを助けることになる……。

設定がSFなので普通の心理スリラーとは異なってあたりまえなのだが、エヴリンの心理も普通の「夫に浮気をされた妻」とは異なる。まったく好感が抱けない人物なのだが、両親との思い出からその背景が想像できるようになっている。かえって読者として意外だったのは、エヴリンが復讐に燃えないところだった。推測を裏切ってくれたところが、私にとっては飽きない面白さになった。

しかし、頭が良いはずなのに「この部分はどうするつもりなんだろう？」というところまでエヴリンが考えていないことには、しばしば苛立ちを覚えた。たぶん作者がわざとやっていることなのだろうが、個人的には、賢い女の復讐の痛快さを感じたかった。

Lots of plot twists

2021年6月27日にブラジルでレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

I admit at first I wasn't expecting anything, since it was, as it's written on the cover, a mix between Big Little Lies and Black Mirror, so probably it would be another story about perfect wives built to serve. Gailey surprised me! The story is full of twists and turns that makes it very interesting, although I feel the main character's back story were a little bit unfinished and confusing. Overall, it's a pretty good book that will keep your mind entertained enough to not think about our lives' current problems.

Summary

Evelyn is a successful scientist and pioneer of a specialized technology in human cloning.
However, her life takes a turn for the worse when her already rocky marriage is dismantled completely when she finds her husband cheating on her. To rub salt in the wound, he is doing it with a clone that he developed using her technology to create a better version of her.

Now her good-for-nothing husband is dead, killed by the same clone leaving Evelyn to deal with his mess and his clone behind.

My Take

The plot had a lot of potential but the writing was flat and felt a little robotic to me in a few places. I couldn’t connect with some of the emotions that the book called for.

Evelyn as a protagonist wasn’t too relatable or maybe she was created that way, I couldn't tell. She was angry a lot and rightly so, after all her husband had left her for a better version of her that he created using her technology, but her character was also pretty unlikeable. Sometimes you just liked the clone better and realized where the husband was coming from and then felt guilty because he is supposed to be the bad guy.

After a point of time, the plot or rather the descriptions felt repetitive like below:

“It was the first time I could recall hearing her sound anything but placid.”

“It was the first time I'd heard her express doubt, and she’d done it so immediately, so openly.”

Or

“Anger, hot and biting, flooded the back of my throat like a bolus of morphine”

“The anger in the throat coiled tighter, tighter, tighter.”

“I felt a strange, sick kind of anger.”

I would have loved it if the book had gone in the direction of or even a bit more into the depth of the ethics of cloning and the rights and autonomy of a clone. While the book does delve a little into the concept of agency and rights, it is more surface-level.

With the suspense created throughout the book, the ending felt a bit short and anticlimactic but still a satisfactory one.

I would give the book 3 stars, for the unexpected but welcome twists it kept throwing to keep the story engaging and as a good starting point for anyone looking to get started with science fiction for its simple yet effective language and easy-to-follow storyline.

Well written, chilling and thought provoking

2023年8月10日に英国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

A warning that we should accept in our loved ones those things we might want to change. The alternative shown here isn't something to contemplate.
Its a well crafted, tight SF thriller that makes you worry where we could be going with some of the possibilities biotech might bring us. I thought of it as feminist at one point but I'm not sure it is. The protagonist comes out of things as morally bereft as the antihero.
A good book. I would read the author again.

3.5 Stars

2021年3月13日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

This dark, suspense filled 3.5 Star novel is a mainly thriller but has sci-fi and family drama elements.

SUMMARY
Evelyn is a award winning scientist who has created a technique for cloning humans. These clones are used as tools, mostly for experimental purposes in a laboratory setting, not to live among people and mix into society.

Career wise, Evelyn is at the top her game. She is highly respected, maybe even revered. But, her personal life is another story, it say it's in shambles is an understatement. He husband (also a scientist, but not of her caliber), not only left her for another woman, but he left her for a clone he secretly created of her! Only a "better" version of her. She's stuck because she cannot report him or tell anyone because it would ruin her reputation as a scientist and as a person. It all leaves her feeling very alone and isolated. And, she's not exactly a warm and fuzzy person anyway so she doesn't have many close friends to begin with. Her husband, Nathan, was really her best friend so now she is feeling beyond betrayed.

Evelyn has not exactly had an easy time in life. In addition to her recent troubles with her husband, her childhood was troubled. The book slowly introduces the reader to the undertone of a darkness or a danger in her childhood home. We don't learn the full extent of it until the very end but it explains why she was a guarded person.

Not long after Evelyn learns of Nathan's new fiance, Martine, she receives a call from Martine begging for her help and that's when things began to get complicated.

This book explores a lot of issues including abuse and sticky moral questions.

WHAT I LOVED
In general this is a well written, thought provoking novel with a unique premise and interesting characters.

The whole concept of clones creates a unique plot for this story. It creates its own set of moral issues and dilemmas. It was quite interesting and made me think about what constitutes a life.

I like that our heroine, Evelyn, is kind of prickly and cold. She is not a sweet wounded little woman we would typically see in this kind of story. I generally found her relatable but the way she ran through her assistants made me realize must be a nightmare to work with and the way she dealt with the clones she created brought up so many questions.

The plot itself had well thought out twists.

WHAT I DIDN'T LOVE
There were a few loose ends that were never tied up. I don't want to go into detail and ruin the plot but there are a couple of small details that would be huge issues.

I found it hard to believe that a woman as smart as Evelyn would have neglected to notice several potential issues. There were times when she overlooked something that was glaringly obvious and it caused problems foe her. I know she could be a bit of an absent minded professor but she was always complaining that Nathan was sloppy but she made some ill thought out decisions herself.

OVERALL
This book has a unique plot concept which leads to some deep questions. It turned out to be much more than just a thriller. Note: there are some triggers such as abuse, grooming and it can be pretty dark at times.
