Bu e-kitob haqida
A primatologist flees her broken marriage for a job in war-torn Africa in the renowned author’s “brilliant . . . stunningly magical” novel (Washington Post Book World).
William Boyd’s classic Brazzaville Beach has been called a “bold seamless blend of philosophy and suspense . . . [that] nevertheless remains accessible to general readers on a level of pure entertainment.” (Boston Globe).
When her marriage to a brilliant but unstable mathematician finally shatters, Hope Clearwater leaves England to join a team of primate researchers in a remote African country. Though she is there to study chimps, the greater challenge is her attempt to grapple with her own recent past—as well as her fellow scientists. And when she discovers evidence of supposedly peaceful chimps engaging in extreme violence, Hope finds herself drawn into a war of desperate egos and ruthless ambitions.
