Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize.
On Brazzaville Beach, on the edge of Africa, Hope Clearwater ponders the strange circumstances that led her to leave her husband, John, and his mathematical obsessions in England and venture to Africa to help world-renowned scientist Eugene Mallabar with his studies of wild chimps.
But the more Hope studies Mallabar, the more she comes to believe that something isn't right. That behind Mallabar and his obsessive work there lies another more sinister truth: one that might also help explain Hope's reasons for leaving England....

Entertaining and well researched
As a primatologist myself, I found this book thoroughly enjoyable and weirdly relatable and not at all cringe (like some others in this genre). The narration is wonderful and soothing and the story and characters are excellent.
