Atmospheric Disturbances by Rivka Galchen
3.0
First sentence: Last December a woman entered my apartment who looked exactly like my wife.
Capgras Syndrome played as farce. Psychiatrist goes off in search of his wife, possibly goes more insane as the strange and/or impossible pours into his life. Funny and clever and page-turny, but not what is called deep. By the end things calm down, but nothing is resolved.
For Capgras played as tragedy, read the grand and serious The Echo Maker by Richard Powers.
