En una tranquila playa de África Occidental, una mujer llamada Hope Clearwater reflexiona sobre los eventos que la llevaron hasta allí. Recuerda su matrimonio con un matemático obsesionado con la teoría de juegos y sus experiencias como etóloga en un centro de investigación sobre el comportamiento de los chimpancés. A través de sus recuerdos, Hope intenta comprender las crueldades de simios y humanos, y las verdades sobre la locura, la codicia y la ciencia.
William Andrew Murray Boyd is a British novelist, short story writer screenwriter and film director. He is best known for his novels, which include A Good Man in Africa (1981), Any Human Heart (2002), and Restless (2006), many of which have received critical acclaim and literary awards. Boyd has also written screenplays for film and television, including Chaplin (1992), and directed the World War I drama The Trench (1999). His work is characterised by its narrative vitality and range, earning him numerous accolades including the Whitbread First Novel Award, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and the Costa Book Award. A number of his works are what he describes as "whole-life" novels which follow a protagonist through the highs and lows of a varied and often remarkable life. He regularly fuses fact with fiction and his lead characters encounter well-known historical figures. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2005 for services to literature. John Self, writing for The Booker Prizes, described Boyd’s work as “vigorous, entertaining novels” produced by an “exceptionally fertile imagination,” and praised his fiction as “fully committed to his stories and characters.”
