The Mad Scientist's Daughter

“The Mad Scientist’s Daughter is a deeply engaging tale beautifully told. Cassandra Rose Clarke is a superb writer and this spellbinding novel should appeal to genre and mainstream readers equally.” – Graham Joyce, author of The Silent Land
“Cassandra Rose Clarke has delivered a novel that is brave enough to take on one of the largest issue’s confronting all of us today—just what exactly it means to be human in a time when the definition of such seems to alter almost daily in the face of whirlwind technological change. The Mad Scientist’s Daughter is a haunting, memorable, and very original love story, told in an alluringly graceful prose.” – Peter LaSalle, author of Tell Borges If You See Him: Tales of Contemporary Somnambulism
“Cat is a finely etched character, difficult, distant, and living in denial of her true feelings for years … Cassandra Rose Clarke does a fine job of staying inside her protagonist’s head, and capturing what it’s like to drift through life without the will or the opportunity to make the best decisions.” * Sci Fi Magazine *
“It’s a neat premise and Clark examines the ramifications with the precision of a poet, eschewing the genre’s typical preoccupation with science and opting instead for a dramatisation of the love affair…this is SF for admirers of The Time Traveller’s Wife.” * The Guardian *
