Produktbeschreibung

Set in prehistoric Siberia, a "psychologically acute and soaringly imaginative" novel by a New York Times-bestselling author (Publishers Weekly). In this novel by the author of Reindeer Moon, set in the Paleolithic age, Kori lives among his hunter-gatherer people, guilty with the knowledge that his unborn child is being carried by his shaman father's new wife. Then, Kori impulsively seizes another woman, from a different tribe, after seeing her swimming in a pond-putting his group in danger. He calls the woman Muskrat, and her customs, beliefs, and language are utterly alien to him. And their relationship may bring either joy or bloodshed . . . From an author and anthropologist known for both her fiction and her nonfiction-including the bestsellers The Hidden Life of Dogs and The Tribe of Tiger-this is a compelling tale "likely to appeal to Clan of the Cave Bear fans" (Library Journal).
