This is her forth book.Sara Gruen is Canadian, from Vancouver. One of her last book – – “Water for Elephants” – was an international best seller. This now – “Ape House” – probably will be another world success.

With a romance styly, Sara Gruen opens the doors to the world of bonobos, who live at Great Ape Trust Sanctuary, in Iowa, so that the world get to know these extraordinary beings, their capacities, linguistic abilities and their relation with humans who share lives with them.

The book also shows the terrible world of invasive medical experiments, which are, in United States, a way to have huge profits with drugs with no respect on ethical and moral principles. It also shows how scientists, with high levels of culture and information, torture our primates’ brothers, to use them as biological models in their useless experiences.

Ape House is published by Random House.
