A terrifically auspicious debut. Janet Maslin The New York Times Smart timely and powerful A rich examination of America's treatment of race and the ways we attempt to discuss and confront it today. The Huffington Post The Freeman family - - Charles Laurel and their daughters teenage Charlotte and nine - year - old Callie - - have been invited to the Toneybee Institute to participate in a research experiment. They will live in an apartment on campus with Charlie a young chimp abandoned by his mother. The Freemans were selected because they know sign language; they are supposed to teach it to Charlie and welcome him as a member of their family. But when Charlotte discovers the truth about the institute's history of questionable studies the secrets of the past invade the present in devious ways. The power of this shattering novel resides in Greenidge's undeniable storytelling talents. What appears to be a story of mothers and daughters of sisterhood put to the test of adolescent love and grown - up misconduct and of history's long reach becomes a provocative and compelling exploration of America's failure to find a language to talk about race. A magnificently textured vital visceral feat of storytelling by a sharp poignant extraordinary new voice of American literature.
