Summary:

In the heart of a civil war-torn African nation, primate researcher
Hope Clearwater made a shocking discovery about apes and man . ..
Young, alone, and far from her family in Britain, Hope Clearwater
contemplates the extraordinary events that left her washed up like
driftwood on Brazzaville Beach. It is here, on the distant, lonely
outskirts of Africa, where she must come to terms with the perplexing
and troubling circumstances of her recent past. For Hope is a
survivor of the devastating cruelities of apes and humans alike. And
to move forward, she must first grasp some hard and elusive truths:
about marriage and madness, about the greed and savagery of charlatan
science . .. and about what compels seemingly benign creatures to
kill for pleasure alone.
