Descrição
In a vivid and heartfelt narrative, a young woman embarks on a poignant journey driven by love and an adventurous spirit. Following her fiancé to the war-torn landscape of the Congo, she finds herself immersed not only in the turmoil of the region but also in the urgent mission to study the critically endangered bonobo apes.
As she navigates the complexities of her new environment, she forms an unexpected bond with these remarkable creatures, whose playful and peaceful nature starkly contrasts with the chaos around her. The memoir captures the challenges of conducting research in such a fragile context, intertwining personal struggles with the rich tapestry of wildlife conservation efforts.
Through her eyes, readers witness the wonders of the bonobo world while grappling with profound themes of love, sacrifice, and resilience. The journey unfolds as a testament to the power of connection—between species and people alike—in the face of adversity.
