The Echo Wife

by Sarah Gailey · 2020

When renowned geneticist Evelyn Caldwell discovers that her husband Nathan has left her for a younger woman who is inexplicably pregnant, the truth shatters her world: the new wife is a clone—Martine—created from Evelyn’s own groundbreaking research. Martine is obedient, gentle, and everything Evelyn vowed never to become, yet she’s been carrying on an affair with the man Evelyn loved. When Nathan is found dead, the two women must navigate a tangled web of betrayal, murder, and the ethical fallout of playing god. As Evelyn confronts the limits of identity and the societal pressures that shape women’s choices, the novel spirals into a dark, suspense‑filled thriller that questions what it means to be a person and how far one will go to protect what’s theirs.
