Rainforest

0/5 ( ratings)

The powerful story of a woman compelled to confront chaos.

Mo's life as an anthropologist in London is safe, orderly and stain-free. There is no mystery, only scientific explanation. Why should a research trip to the rainforest in Borneo threaten her cool view of the world? She is only there to observe, after all. And what difference does the absurd sexual behaviour of others make to her as long as she stays sensible? But Mo is not the only one who's looking: something - someone is watching her as she marks out her grid over the lush and rampant forest...

'Great precision and power... a tough exploration of solitude and sexual need... When I put the book down I needed air; I'd been horribly gripped' - New Statesman

'Jenny Diski focuses with razor-sharp precision upon the way in which sexual observation can triumph over reason... a gripping, provocative novel' - Daily Mail

'Jenny Diski's incisive clarity keeps pages turning and brain humming; - Time Out
