mctumenas 's review for:
The Last Neanderthal
by Claire Cameron
Thanks to NetGalley and to Little, Brown and Company for the preview copy of this book.
This was a very different story than I had anticipated. I had thoughts of an archeological dig, with all the movie melodrama that entails. Instead, this was a very curiously moving story of the present day archaeologist juxtaposed with the Neanderthal Girl. The similarities were striking. What does family mean? What is the role of the provider? How can history inform us of these facts or in some cases misinform?
The intertwining stories were intriguing on their own merit, but I really enjoyed looking into the mirror and seeing the past/present woman.
