Sci-fi. A scientist who has developed sophisticated human cloning technology that works but that has not yet been broadly commercialized finds out that her husband is somehow having an affair with a clone of her. Told in a first-person voice that wonderfully conveys (particularly in the audiobook) the suffer-no-fools, brilliant, not really very nice, damaged, hardened-and-sharpened to not just survive a patriarchal field but to emerge on top, sometimes brutally honest, sometimes staggeringly self-deceptive essence of the protagonist. Combines a compelling story with clever exploration of deep questions about selfhood and personhood and what makes us who we are that is even more clever because it never comes across as self-conscious exploration of deep questions. I’ve read one other book by this author, which I thought was fine but nothing special, but this one is definitely much more interesting than that.
