'Howlingly marvellous ... Gripping and inescapably bittersweet'
Boston Globe 'Hits the mark ... Real and relevant' BookTrib
____________________ Guy Schermerhorn, brilliant young professor of
psychology and disciple of the pioneering Dr Moncrieff, is making a
name for himself on the talk show circuit with an unusual protege
in tow: a chimp by the name of Sam. Sam lives in Guy's apartment,
wears diapers and neckties, devours pizza and Macdonalds - and,
through Guy's careful training, can communicate through sign
language. But living with Sam is wreaking havoc on Guy's personal
life, and when shy, meek undergraduate Aimee Villard volunteers to
take on babysitting for him, he can't believe his luck. Aimee and
Sam have an immediate rapport, and before Guy knows it she's moved
in, proudly devoting herself to Sam's care and Guy's project. Aimee
has never known purpose and happiness like this; but when Guy's
funding is imperilled, and Sam is taken away by the sinister
Moncrief, her world falls apart. Aimee discovers just how far
she'll go to, and just what she'll risk, to be united with the
chimp she's come to love so much. _____________ 'Boyle tells this
story with clear-eyed, flinty intelligence' Spectrum, Sydney
