delightful reading,
By A Customer
This review is from: His Monkey Wife (Or, Married to a Chimp) (Paperback)
If this is not a lost treasure, I don't know what is. "His Monkey Wife" is exceptionally unique and delightful to read. I found myself identifying with and empathising with Emily (the "chimp") and rooting for her throughout.

The Missing Bronte Link,
By A. Conrad "humble primate" (Portland , OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: His Monkey Wife (Or, Married to a Chimp) (Paperback)
I must say that despite my qualms about some of the author's "politics," not to mention his barely-simmering-below-the-surface rage toward "modern, independent" women, I'm still so taken with the prose style and the very loveable character of Emily that I've read 180 pp and am almost sad to be coming to the end.
And to be fair, Collier manages to skewer the entire leisure class- though he does reserve his sharpest barbs for the women.

A Great Little Novel,
By Alan Venable "Author/creator of 'Dr. Peanut'... (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: His Monkey Wife (Or, Married to a Chimp) (Paperback)
This is one of those great little novels from a few decades back that you just can't believe is so little known. Being a primate myself, I loved the premise that a chimpanzee woman falls in love with a human man and, in her own subjective experience, becomes his wife when he takes her from Africa back to England. Not an easy premise to pull off, but I was delighted by it. The story could end us seeming just comical, but in fact it's touching Another reminder that there's still worlds to learn about what goes on in the minds and hearts of our kindred species.Take Me With You When You Go
