About This Book
From the internationally acclaimed author of Smilla's Sense of Snow
comes a dazzling leap of imagination--a tale as sensitive as it is
suspenseful, as profound as it is provocative.
Madelene, the beautiful, lonely, alcoholic wife of behavioral scientist
Adam Burden, is pacing the confines of their opulent London home when
she comes upon her husband's secret captive. Erasmus is a 300-pound ape
who, if rigorous tests prove him a hitherto unknown superhominid, will
be the ruthless Adam's ultimate trophy. But Madelene, intoxicated by
their encounter, sets out to unravel the web of corruption that ensnares
this intelligent creature. And together, blurring the boundary between
human and animal, she and Erasmus venture into an Eden of freedom and
love...only to find their future endangered by a species who would let
greed and ambition destroy their fragile world.
Witty, erotic, magical, The Woman and the Ape is a tour de force, one
that offers daring new insight into out times, our illusions, and our
hearts.
