Shrivers debut is a 'literary' novel without an iota of pretentiousness. It reads with the grace of a wellwritten spy story, but conveys some of its authors early wisdom about what our humanity both demands of and grants us. Washington PostThe first novel by the New York Times bestselling author Lionel Shriver, The Female of the Species is the exotic and chilling story of a highly independent and successful womans latelife romantic education, in all its ecstasy and desperationStill unattached and childless at fiftynine, worldrenowned anthropologist Gray Kaiser is seemingly invincibleand untouchable. Returning to make a documentary at the site of her first great triumph in Kenya, she is accompanied by her faithful middleaged assistant, Errol McEchern, who has loved her for years in silence. When sexy young graduate assistant Raphael Sarasola arrives on the scene, Gray is captivated and falls hopelessly in lovebefore an amazed and injured Errol's eyes. As he follows the progress of their affair with jealous fascination, Errol watches helplessly from the sidelines as a proud and fierce woman is reduced to miserable dependence through subtle, cruel, and calculating manipulation.
