4.0 out of 5 stars
Bad title, great book set in London,
This review is from: The Woman and the Ape (Hardcover)
Though this book is about a woman and her relationship with an ape, the title doesn't quite fit. The novel is set mostly in London. As an American living in London, I really identified with the author's view of 'my' city as expressed through his two non-Londoner protagonists, a Danish woman and an ape (I won't spoil it by telling you where he's from). The book itself is pacy and surprising, if you ignore kind of a slow start. An original piece of work and a pleasure to read. If you didn't like the ending to Smilla's Sense of Snow you will probably find the ending of this a fair bit less annoying, but still a little contrived. |
