In this moving novel, Karen Joy Fowler introduces us to the Cooke family, a middle-class American family that is ordinary in every way but one. Through the voice of Rosemary, the protagonist, Fowler explores themes of family, memory, language, and science, raising the question of what constitutes a human being. Rosemary was raised with a chimpanzee, Fern, whom she considered her twin sister until she was expelled from her life. This event deeply marked her, leading her to wrap herself in silence. A story of fallible people whose well-intentioned actions lead to heartbreaking consequences.
