Summary: 5 Stars
As in Smilla's Sense of Snow H?eg shows his acute sense of detail and skill at description. An unknown breed of chimpanzee escapes from a bounty hunter and becomes the captive of a scientist seeking to secure his name and position. The scientist's wife, the daughter of another animal researcher, is drifting through life in an alcohol fog. When the woman meets the ape, she finds a purpose in life: to save his species from the folly of man. This is a highly topical, erotic, fantasy-prone story that enchants from the very beginning.
