゚ヤヘ Synopsis
A remote uninhabited island, 1855. A British scientist launches the most ambitious experiment in race science ever conceived: two infants ¬タヤ a black boy and a white girl ¬タヤ are to be raised in complete isolation from their respective races, tended only by a mute nurse, to determine which race is inherently superior. At the centre of the experiment is Samuel Bates, the scientist's assistant, who must observe and record without interfering ¬タヤ until the experiment's cruel logic forces him to choose. A meticulously researched and deeply unsettling novel by the author of The Opium Clerk.
