Description
Jini dedicates her life to the study of primates. One night, she helps rescue a bonobo that has escaped from a burning building. As she holds the bonobo in her arms on the way back to the Center for Primate Studies, an accident throws her through the windshield and a strange fusion takes place: while her body is taken to the hospital, between life and death, Jini’s spirit takes refuge in the body of the little bonobo. Thus begins a fascinating coexistence between the two beings. From the author of the #1 international bestsellers The Good Son and Seven Years of Darkness, Jeong delivers a captivating story that keeps us on our toes from start to finish. But the real originality of his novel is to examine the boundaries between human and animal by making us enter the universe and the sensitivity of bonobos.
