This beautifully crafted novel offers a unique and profoundly moving perspective through the eyes of its unforgettable gorilla protagonist, shedding light on the quiet dignity of captive animals. The narrative skilfully explores powerful themes of friendship, art, and the yearning for freedom, delivering an emotionally resonant story that touches the heart. While its gentle prose and poignant message are a strength, some readers might find the story’s simplicity makes it a quick read, with a resolution that, while hopeful, might feel a touch too neatly tied up. Despite these minor points, it remains a truly enchanting and important work that advocates for compassion and imagination with immense grace.
