'Highly atmospheric, this impressive story asks questions about human fears across the ages.' Daily Mail

Tuuli is a prehistoric girl, travelling with her tribe through the seasons – making camp, hunting for food and protecting themselves against the many hazards that the climate throws at them. Tuuli knows there’s a bigger world out there, and when she spots a strange boy lurking outside their camp, she realises that he might hold the adventure she is looking for.

He is from another tribe, sent to find safer ground and as he and Tuuli strike up an unlikely friendship, they set out on a journey that will impact the rest of human history.

A vast adventure with a very human heart, full of wild animals, huge scenery and heart-stopping danger and inspired by real anthropological discoveries.

I was initially quite sceptical about this novel. A book by Professor Alice Roberts with an eye to younger readers? And fiction? The happiness is that my scepticism entirely and quickly melted - like the winter snows in this audio-book and I was fully engaged with the journey of the hunter gathers in the Ice Age. Roberts appears genuinely engaged with the well-drawn characters that populate this story, so much so that you take them to you. Roberts twins the day-to-day demands on these people to kill to live with little sentimentality showing, yet they have characters with deep concern for others; showing a complexity of feelings and thoughts. These are people not cyphers of for a ‘let’s imagine we follow groups of these ancient people as they move along their annual migratory path from seasonal winter to summer living grounds’. Additional depth is added by the presence of an outsider and it more clearly than anything else weaves a sense of humanity in the kinds of things that must have happened some 30,000 years ago. (This thread will reflect on us in the modern world too.) But stop. This is an adventure story that is so well told and it is hard to see how anyone cannot identify with the main characters. There is nothing not to like. And because it is a book about a journey of adventure, there is a momentum that pull’s the listener or reader along. But stop again. This is an adult reviewing his sense of the novel. It is cast as for readers 9 and over. It does not matter. It will work for young people and older people alike. The audio-book is gifted with the skills of performer, Sofia Engstrand. Fresh voiced and sympathetic to the characters she voice-realises she will please so many. From this novel’s dramatic ending, and by what we know from the author’s own mouth, there will be a sequel it is to be hoped that Engstrand will be engaged to bring that to life too. If I have any regrets it is a want for description of scenery. Also, it is my own ignorance in terms of not knowing or being able to visualise the many different plants, including trees that help make this novel so rich. If I was picking my way through the audio book I would have scribbled them down and then looked them up, which I suppose I may do still. Select this novel with confidence.
