Über diesen Titel

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.

Spoiler free: I like the story and the quasy atypical gender roles (Not in the mening of divers sexualitys but there are no sterotypical weak women and hero males either). Theres an intereseting women as protagonist and a some what atypical male lead whom I gladly would have lerned more about. Charakter development was exiting to. And exactly the right amount of retrospect. Quite simple but not to shallow language in grammar and words easy to understand and enjoyable complex (as far as I can judege as I am no native). I was hooked.

Here comes the catch: As far as the writing and story goes I would gladly have given 4 to 5 stars but the speaker is a dealbreakter for me. She is clear to understand and timbre is pleasing at least in the few moments she isn´t neraly crying. Its the definition of whiny. The hole book comes across as overly dramatic and the strong female lead becomes overly emotionalied beside her role to play wich has more to give. A guess she would be a nice cast for a diffrent kind of book or role but here its diminishing the character of the lead.

Good writing and story intolarable speaker
