Publisher's Summary

In 1954, in a remote South American village, a four-year-old girl was abducted and then abandoned deep in the Colombian rainforest. So begins the incredible true story of Marina Chapman, who went on to spend several years alone in the jungle, her only family a troop of capuchin monkeys. Using instinct to guide her, she copied everything they did and soon learned to fend for herself.

At around 10 years old, a completely feral Marina was returned to civilisation by hunters, who sold her as a slave to a brothel. Beaten daily and groomed to be a prostitute, she escaped - to live the perilous existence of a Colombian city street kid. Marina's life as a wild child wasn't over. In some ways, it had only just begun.

This is her astonishing story.

Compelling

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story was engaging and well written. What this women went through is heartbreaking in so many ways, and yet you can tell from her narrative that this is a survivor but also someone who embraces life in whatever the circumstance. I highly recommend this audiobook.

Incredible. I want to hear the rest of her story! How did she meet her husband, how did she tell her children about her past?

incredible story

Good narration!I couldn’t stop listening, I want to hear the rest of the story, how’s life in Bogotá and London, had she ever received education, how did she meet her husband? It seems to me the book has not been finished writing yet.
