EL doctor Hugo Archibald, del Museo de Historia Natural de Boston, encuentra un monito huérfano en un viaje de investigación a África. Decide llevarse a Jennie, pues así llama a la chimpancé, de vuelta a casa para criarla junto a sus hijos, como si fuera un experimento científico. Jennie cautiva a todos los que la conocen. Se ve a sí misma como un ser humano y se comporta como haría cualquier otra niña, desde montaren triciclo hasta pelearse con sus hermanos por el mando de la tele, pasando por aprender el lenguaje de signos para comunicarse. Pero cuando alcanza la madurez sexual, su vida y la de quienes la rodean cambiará radicalmente. Su lucha por la libertad abrirá interrogantes oscuros, y las soluciones científicas no son a veces las más éticas… Jennie es una original novela, a la vez cálida y tenebrosa, que transmite una mirada muy cercana a una especie que comparte el 98 por ciento de nuestro ADN. Y lo que es más, nos obliga a preguntarnos qué significado encierran palabras como evolución, sociedad, amor, sufrimiento o humanidad.
