Andrew Westoll discusses his award-winning book on ABC's Conversations with Richard Fidler.
‘This is a disturbing book in many ways but it is also a story of hope and of the realisation by humans that we have responsibilities to species other than our own. Written with a light touch and without either anger or maudlin emotion, it is a story that deserves to be widely known.’ Canberra Times
‘This is a narrative of pure compassion following a shocking story of animal cruelty.’ Launceston Examiner
‘Westoll's story is engaging, confronting, moving and enlightening, showing us the mirror world of apes in the wild as told by
Jane Goodall, Dianne Fossey and others.’ Daily Telegraph
‘As well as being a call to awareness of the suffering inflicted on our cousins and the need for reform, this book will touch your hearts with the stories of a small group of survivors, their idiosyncracies, the bonds they have formed with each other and with their carers, and their recovery from trauma.’ Courier Mail
