'I will remember the story of Einstein for the rest of my life ... This book should be read by
everyone.' VIRGINIA MCKENNA 'An unusually powerful book - and a timely one too.' MICHAEL PALIN
'Revealing perceptive and chilling in turns the book is unlike any other I have read. Felice
Fallon's ability to write with so many voices makes Interviews with an Ape compelling and
thought-provoking. It will break your heart and change your mind.' JOANNA LUMLEY
___________________ A young woman Dr Graciela Saddiq arrives to work at a zoo in a city soon
to be at war. Of all the animals she is particularly interested in a silverback mountain
gorilla named Einstein. Quickly she finds what makes this gorilla unique: he can communicate
with humans using sign language. Each evening as darkness falls and the zoo empties of people
Einstein tells her his story as well as those of other animals he has known. But war is looming
and as the bombing of the city begins Dr Saddiq realises that that both their lives are in
terrible danger ... ___________________ 'A thoughtful audaciously panoramic novel' MAIL ON
SUNDAY 'A rare and sparkling jewel - actually a veritable treasure chest. I found myself
falling in love with Einstein ... So smart yet he breaks your heart.' CELIA IMRIE 'Stunningly
original moving and engrossing.' DEREK JACOBI 'In this powerful book Felice Fallon opens us
to the infinite possibilities of the consciousness of other species. In a story told with
compassion and candour Fallon succeeds in bringing a new and vital challenge to our the
long-held belief of us and them.' ESTHER WOOLFSON author of Between Light and Storm: How We
Live with Other Species 'A life-changing book which shines a light on humanity in a way that I
have seldom read. I would urge you to read it and let it cast its spell on you!' JENNY SEAGROVE
'Fallon's intent is to explore the way in which apparently dumb animals are not only far more
intelligent than has been previously perceived but also have valuable even vital things to
teach humanity. She succeeds admirably and affectingly.' OBSERVER NEW REVIEW 'Affecting and
delivered without mawkishness.' NEW STATESMAN 'Moving as well as shocking. The ending does what
books often have to try harder than movies to achieve: it makes you cry.' THE HERALD SCOTLAND
