«Jennie» is the novel by Douglas J. Preston, published by Debolsillo in hardcover (336 pages, in Spanish).
Dr. Hugo Archibald, an anthropologist at the Boston Museum of Natural History, finds an orphaned chimpanzee infant in Africa and brings it into his home with his children. Jennie feels human, learns to communicate through signs, and lives like any other child, but as she grows, her chimpanzee nature clashes with her family life.
The Debolsillo edition is from 2008 and the Spanish translation is by Jofre Homedes Beutnagel. The novel was originally published in 1994 and was adapted for television in 2001.
For readers of contemporary fiction looking for a novel about coexistence between humans and animals.
