She was my twin, my funhouse mirror, my whirlwind other half, and I loved her as a sister."Rosemary was not yet six when Fern was removed. But until Fern's expulsion, I'd scarcely known a moment alone. I tell you Fern was a chimp and already you aren't thinking of her as my sister. "It's never going to be the first thing I share with someone. "I spent the first eighteen years of my life defined by this one fact: I was raised with a chimpanzee," she tells us. Meet the Cooke family: mother and dad, brother Lowell, sister Fern, and our narrator, Rosemary, who begins her story in the middle. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Jane Austen Book Club comes the story of a middle-class American family, ordinary in every way but one-and that exception becomes the beating heart of this extraordinary novel. ![]()
