T.C. Boyle's Talk to Me
T.C. Boyle's Talk to Me is a thought-provoking and controversial book that looks at the lines between people and animals, love and control, science and ethics. Aimee, a doctoral student, starts working with Sam, a chimpanzee who knows sign language. They become very close, but what starts as a research study turns into a moral and emotional struggle that neither she nor her mentor can handle.
Talk to Me makes us question what we think we know about communication, connection, and what it really means to be human by blurring the barriers between species, identity, and love.

This is literary fiction with a strong, moral edge that is great for fans of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves, Life of Pi, and Klara and the Sun.
Why Talk to Me is a book you have to read:
Ethically Charged: Talks about animal rights and what people should do.
Literary and Emotional: Well-written, with a lot of emotional depth and humor.
Boyle at His Best: Darkly humorous, surprising, and thought-provoking.
Conversation Starter: Great for book clubs and anyone who like to think.
A quote from the book that sticks with me is, "The question isn't whether he understands us; it's whether we understand him."
"ප්රශ්නය වන්නේ ඔහු අපිව තේරුම් ගන්නවාද කියන එක නොවෙයි අපි ඔහුව තේරුම් ගන්නවාද කියන එකයි."
"கேள்வி அவர் நம்மை புரிந்துகொள்ளுகிறாரா இல்லையா அல்ல நாம் அவரை புரிந்துகொள்ளுகிறோமா என்பது தான்."
