Then, on the mountains high above the plantation where only monkeys live, something extraordinary happens that will change her life for ever
Trade Review"The touching tale of Tashi's relationship with her mother and with a troupe of monkeys is enhanced by Juan Wijngaard's evocative and sumptuous illustrations... Beautifully produced, the novel is an object to cherish and a tale to remember." (Sunday Times)"
