Ape House by Sara Gruen

Sam, Bonzi, Lola, Mbongo, Jelani et Makena ne sont pas des singes ordinaires. D'une intelligence tres proche de celle des humains, ils sont capables d'amour et peuvent communiquer en langage des signes. Ces six bonobos font l'objet d'etudes tres poussees dans un laboratoire de Kansas City, dirige par Isabel Duncan, une jeune chercheuse qui nourrit plus d'affinites pour les animaux que pour les etres humains. Mais lorsque, a la suite d'une explosion, les grands singes se retrouvent en liberte, objets des plus basses convoitises, Isabel est prete a tout pour les sauver. Meme a se compromettre avec un seduisant journaliste, un vegetalien militant et une star du cinema a la retraite. Peu de livres peuvent changer notre vision du monde, mais a la lecture de La Maison des singes, vous tomberez a jamais amoureux de ces lointains cousins, aussi fascinants que menaces.
Canadian author SARA GRUEN is the author of the award-winning #1 bestselling novel Water for Elephants, as well as the bestseller Riding Lessons and Flying Changes. Gruen was born in Vancouver and raised in London, Ontario. She studied English literature at Carleton University in Ottawa. She shares her North Carolina home with her own version of a blended family: a husband, three children, four cats, two dogs, two horses, and a goat. In order to write this novel, Gruen studied linguistics and a system of lexigrams so she could communicate directly with the bonobos living at the Great Ape Trust in Des Moines, Iowa. She now considers them to be part of her extended family and, according to the bonobos, the feeling is mutual.
