It is here, on the distant, lonely outskirts of Africa, where she must come to terms with the perplexing and troubling circumstances of her recent past. For Hope is a survivor of the devastating cruelities of apes and humans alike. And to move forward, she must first grasp some hard and elusive truths: about marriage and madness, about the greed and savagery of charlatan science . . . and about what compels seemingly benign creatures to kill for pleasure alone. 366635 1990 Brazzaville Beach total:321|5:68|4:146|3:85|2:15|1:7| 321 1216 447 29 77829 0380780496 9780380780495 291 29 3.79 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170901535m/77829.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77829.Brazzaville_Beach 3 0 false Fri Jul 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 11 19:13:59 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 11 19:43:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 77829 0380780496 9780380780495 291 29 3.79 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170901535m/77829.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77829.Brazzaville_Beach 4 0 false Thu Dec 11 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 00:11:30 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 07:52:21 -0800 2008 more...]]> 77829 0380780496 9780380780495 291 29 3.79 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170901535m/77829.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77829.Brazzaville_Beach 5 0 false Wed Dec 24 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 24 09:21:42 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 24 09:45:54 -0800 2008
