Trade Review
The authenticity of background detail, the lilting prose rhythms and the appealing conceptual audacity continue to work their spell. * Publishers Weekly *
Enjoy spending this holiday season falling back in time. * Cosmopolitan *
Clearly falls into the "unputdownable" category . . . once again Jean Auel presents a compelling, vivid and authentic picture of man's existence at the dawn of history, an epic tale the fluency of which is a tribute to the depth of her research. * Citizen, Gloucester *
