Beatrice and Virgil

by Yann Martel - £8.99  Canongate Books Ltd (2011)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781847677679 | ISBN 10: 1847677673

Fate takes many forms...
 
When Henry receives a letter from an elderly taxidermist, it poses a puzzle that he cannot resist. As he is pulling into the world of this strange and calculating man, Henry becomes increasingly involved with the lives of a donkey and a howler monkey - named Beatrice and Virgil - and the epic journey they undertake together.
 
With all the spirit and orginality that made Life of Pi so treasured, this brilliant new novel takes the reader on a haunting odyssey. On the way, Martel asks profound questions about life and art, truth and deception, responsibility and complicity.
