Shaman by Kim Stanley Robinson
4.0

Coming of age on or in the shadow of the ice of Neolithic Europe 30,000 years ago. The glimmerings of the civilizations to come. The red blood on white snow. The howling of the wolves. The dark of the shamans’ cave. The rescues and ghosts of those who did not return. The deep roots of the hero’s journey and life in the face of scarcity. Rhapsodic and humane.
