Klappentext'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 protégé 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 Morning Herald'An engaging tale' The Blurb, Australia
