Gillian Bradshaw is one of my go-to authors when I need a comforting reread that I know I will enjoy again, such as when I am home with the flu like last week. This, along with Island of Ghosts and The Sand Reckoner, is one of my favorites by her. She usually writes historical fiction but this one is mildly futuristic sci fi. In it, young, gifted classical musician Val has been yanked in by the police because the British government wants tests run on her brain. You see, as a baby she was the recipient of a brain regeneration treatment which now has been found to cause dangerously erratic behavior in a few recipients, and there has been a bit of a media frenzy about it. She's been avoiding the tests, because she dreads what may happen to her musical ability if they try to fix things. Val finds herself consigned to a specialized, fancy brain study facility with a misogynistic and menacing doctor, her only ally a young post graduate assistant. But allies, enemies, gifts and hazards, sometimes they aren't what they appear. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
She wanted no escape from her mind But they say she's a liability to the public. She could be dangerous, she could kill. Branded a pariah, a potential cloned-brain psychotic roaming the streets, Val Thornham's life is going to be turned upside down. As a child, she was one of the few recipients of CICNPC - Cerebral Implantation of Cloned Neural Progenitor Cells - a treatment that has ruined the lives of many of the first-ever guinea pigs. She was one of them, but she knows she is sane. Apart from the strange and deeply moving tunes that run through her brain, that impinge on her consciousness whenever she thinks about music. The trouble is, is this genius - or the beginnings of the end? No library descriptions found. |
