From the blurb:

"'His Monkey Wife' is the simple and unusual story of Mr Fatigay, an English schoolmaster in the Upper Congo, and Emily, his intelligent and sensitive pupil - a prodigiously gifted chimpanzee. Mr Fatigay brings her to England as a present for his frivolous fiancee, Amy, who finds use for her as a housemaid. When Amy goes out to tea-parties and concerts, she imprisons Emily in the lumber-room. However, Emily, who has secretly fallen in love with Mr Fatigay, resolves to educate herself and manages to escape in order to visit the British Museum, where she reads Darwin's 'Origins of Species'. Emily eventually flees for good and goes on to find her forte as the star dancer in a London revue. She is now a serious rival in the contest for Mr Fatigay's affections...'
