About this listen

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.

This story gave me new insights into my life. The narrator sounded crying and weeping and it soon started annoy me. One of the best books I've ever read though.

Inspiring

I loved this book and found it very interesting. Unlike some other listeners, I had no problems with the narrator. However I wish that the book hadn't ended when it did. I would have liked to hear the story of her life with her new family, how she came to the U.K. and met her husband, and had children of her own in Bradford.

Fascinating story
