Sam, Bonzi, Lola, Mbongo, Jelani, and Makena are unique bonobos capable of reason and deep relationships, and they communicate using American Sign Language. Isabel Duncan, a scientist at the Great Ape Language Lab, feels more at home with these apes than with people, until she meets John Thigpen, a married reporter who defies animal rights protesters to uncover the truth about the lab. When an explosion injures Isabel and frees the apes, John’s human interest piece transforms into a major story that jeopardizes his career and marriage. Soon after, a reality TV show featuring the liberated apes becomes a sensational hit, showcasing their antics and drawing millions of viewers. As the apes sign for Isabel to rescue them from this absurd human spectacle, she must engage with her own kind, including John, a vegan activist, and a retired porn star with her own motives. This narrative not only entertains but also offers profound insights into the animal world, solidifying the author’s reputation as a master storyteller who encourages readers to reflect on their own lives in new ways.
