From Booklist

This surprising book unexpectedly grabs one's attention and won't let go, thanks to the intensity of the characters' feelings and the expertness of their portrayal. The story is straightforward. Val, who had a now-controversial brain regeneration treatment as an infant, has been arrested for fleeing the country and taken in for risk- assessment testing. The genius expert working on her case possesses an abysmal attitude and is just a little perverted about women's brains. Under house arrest in the research center, Val is threatened from all angles. As a promising young musician, she fears that the treatment she is threatened with will destroy her most valued capability, her talent for creating music. Bradshaw adds obstacles, changes situations with uncanny rapidity, and makes a not unexpected ending still come as quite a shock. As is their wont in real life, the villains of the piece persistently change, the only constant being the reactionary fear of the unknown that can destroy all sorts of wonderful things.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Nice near-future SF medical-musical(!) thriller., Déc 26 2003

(REAL NAME)   
-----------------------------------------------------------
"They arrested me on the train to France..." Meet Valeria Thornham,
pretty music student, promising young composer -- and threat to
public safety?

Valeria, brain-damaged as an infant, was successfully treated with
Cicnip-C -- 'cerebral implantation of cloned neural progenitor cells.'
Now, in 2032, a Cicnip-C patient has turned mass-murderer, the media
are in a frenzy about 'cloned-brain psychos', and the Ministry of Health
is in a panic....

Val is hustled to the posh Laurel Hill Centre for Cognitive Research,
where the odious Professor Bernet plans to use her for brain research --
with a threat of lobotomy if she doesn't cooperate. But Val is a fighter,
and with the help of sympathetic staff, she reaches an accomodation of
sorts with the Evil Genius. There are clever twists en route, a
new love won and lost, and some very nice passages on music: its
performance, composition and place in human culture. It wouldn't be
fair to reveal the ending, but it's fast and furious. Here's a clue: music
really does soothe the savage breast...

This is Bradshaw's second SF outing, following her less-successful The
Wrong Reflection (2000). Bradshaw is better-known as a historical and
fantasy novelist, but I predict she'll be well received by Nancy Kress
and LE Modesitt fans. Bradshaw may be new to SF, but she's an
experienced, smooth, economical storyteller. I'll be looking for her next
book -- and I should go back and read some of her historicals.
