Really enjoyed this and could not put it down. So much research must have gone into this, it was fascinating. A few things I think aren't quite right but then it was written over 30 years ago! Some really challenging moments in the story that made me uncomfortable but I think that's to be expected when writing about people from over 40,000 years ago! Looking forward to the next in the series.
