PAPERBACK
Author: Â Phil Earle
Â
THE DAWN OF ADONIS is a powerful and deeply moving story about courage, compassion, and the bond between humans and animals. Set in London in 1911, the novel opens in the shadowy world of the docks, where illegal deals and cruelty thrive - and where a baby silverback gorilla named Adonis is brought into captivity.
Â
Adonis is seen as a prize, a way for ruthless men to make their fortune. But when a twelve-year-old girl is accidentally pulled into this dangerous underworld, everything begins to change. As she witnesses the suffering around her, she is forced to make an impossible choice: protect herself, or risk everything to save the helpless gorilla.
Phil Earle writes with emotional depth and clarity, bringing both the historical setting and the characters vividly to life. The story is tense and heartbreaking, yet full of hope, showing how bravery can come from unexpected places. Like When the Sky Falls, it explores themes of kindness, injustice, and standing up for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Perfect for readers who enjoy powerful historical fiction, The Dawn of Adonis is a compelling and unforgettable read. It’s a story that stays with you - about empathy, sacrifice, and the belief that even one person can make a difference.
