An imagining of life in prehistoric times, where a young man leaves his mother's people to live with his father's clan, and kidnaps a woman from another tribe with very different customs. ( ) A companion novel to Reindeer Moon, telling about the same group of prehistoric people, also a coming-of-age story, but about a young man this time. Kori, the main character, sets off on a journey to live with his father's people after having spent his childhood with his mother. He is eager to prove himself a man, and earn his place. He is just beginning to find his place among the grown men when he makes a brash move and takes captive a woman from an unknown tribe. His rash action condemns his new "wife" to live among total strangers- but also makes Kori something of an outcast himself, and places his own family group in danger... It wasn't nearly as magical as Reindeer Moon, and at the end of the book I was left thinking: what a desolate story. from the DogEar Diary nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieReindeer Moon (2)
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).
