About This Book

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 ).
