One of the most anticipated books of 2017: The Millions, CBC, Chatelaine, Globe and Mail, Maclean's
From the author of The Bear, the enthralling story of two women separated by millennia but linked by an epic journey that will transform them both
Forty thousand years in the past, the last family of Neanderthals roams the earth. After a crushingly hard winter, their numbers are low, but Girl, the oldest daughter, is just coming of age, and her family is determined to travel to the annual meeting place and find her a mate.
But the unforgiving landscape takes its toll, and Girl is left alone to care for Runt, a foundling of unknown origin. As Girl and Runt face the coming winter storms, Girl realizes she has one final chance to save her people, even if it means sacrificing part of herself.
In the modern day, archaeologist Rosamund Gale works well into her pregnancy, racing to excavate newly found Neanderthal artifacts before her baby comes. Linked across the ages by the shared experience of early motherhood, both stories examine the often taboo corners of women's lives.
Haunting, suspenseful, and profoundly moving, The Last Neanderthal asks us to reconsider all we think we know about what it means to be human.

Tekla, son of an ancient shaman, loses Ka Li when she is torn from his life by a brutal tribe of Denisovans in a Late Pleistocene kidnapping. Ka Li escapes but is unarmed and forced to flee across the Bering land bridge where she becomes hopelessly lost in the endless tracts of North America. Only Tekla cares enough to search for her over the years. As Ka Li survives fierce predators and scarce resources, she leaves behind a series of signal cairns to help Tekla find her.

There is Heather, the healer who, in many ways, holds the clan together. There is Elga, an outsider and the bringer of change. And then there is Loon, the next shaman, who is determined to find his own path. But in a world so treacherous, that journey is never simple - and where it may lead is never certain.

The year is 1876. Warring Indian tribes still populate America's western territories, even as lawless gold-rush towns begin to mark the landscape. In much of the country, it is still illegal to espouse evolution. Against this backdrop two monomaniacal paleontologists pillage the Wild West, hunting for dinosaur fossils while surveilling, deceiving, and sabotaging each other in a rivalry that will come to be known as the Bone Wars.

Since she’d been on the outside, she’d survived an Aether storm, she’d had a knife held to her throat, and she’d seen men murdered. This was worse. Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland - known as The Death Shop - are slim. If the cannibals don’t get her, the violent, electrified energy storms will. She’s been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He’s wild - a savage - and her only hope of staying alive.

Where, not a minute before, there had been a suburb, there was now only woodland standing amid ruins. There is no warning. No chance to prepare. They arrive in the night: thundering up through the ground, transforming streets and towns into shadowy forest. Buildings are destroyed.

Historia
Christophe has been in the New World only a year when his native guides abandon him to flee their Iroquois pursuers. A Huron warrior and elder named Bird soon takes him prisoner, along with a young Iroquois girl, Snow Falls, whose family he has just killed, and holds them captive in his massive village. Champlain's Iron People have only recently begun trading with the Huron, who mistrust them as well as this Crow who has now trespassed onto their land; and her people, of course, have become the Huron's greatest enemy.

Six-million acres of Adirondack forest separate Natalie and Doug Larson from civilization. For the newlyweds, the isolated backcountry honeymoon seemed ideal for starting their lives together, but as they begin to explore the dark interiors of their own hearts, it soon becomes clear that they are not alone in the woods. A man watches them, wielding the forest like a weapon. He wants something from them that's more terrifying than death. And once they are near him, he will do everything in his power to make sure they never walk out again.

In the hospital, there is a woman. Her hair, once blond, hangs in tangles down her back. She doesn't remember why she's in such a terrible place. Just a tea party long ago, and long ears, and blood.

Historia
Udo's biggest problem isn't being a digger (that's low class), or staying drunk (that's damn expensive), or avoiding the Dwergaz (they're monsters), or even pissing off the supposed Gods. It's that his reality...well, it isn't what he thought. And now, he can't even afford to drink because his so-called friend Nicz is cutting into his business, digging up tin, iron, and copper. So Udo forms a new plan: clay. After all, clay jars are used to store everything: meat, herbs, and, his personal favorite, ale.

I didn’t want it to end!
Amazingly in-depth character development, for all its speed; I found myself able to empathize with the Archeologist, as well as the Neanderthal, ‘Girl’. I enjoyed the detailed descriptions of the construction and maintenance of the shelters, as well as the scientifically accurate description of what is now known as, ‘Rabbit Starvation’. This last is a metabolic disorder caused by lack of fats in a diet of primarily winter Rabbit meat.

Disappointing
I didn't care for this book. I enjoyed the parts set in the past with Girl, for the most part, but Rose, of present day, was one of the most unlikable characters I've ever come across. She's incredibly arrogant regardinng her work, and naive regarding her pregnancy, motherhood, and post-partum plans of work. She's also very inconsiderate and, dare I say, downright cruel to her partner and father of her child. Stubborn, arrogant and defensive, I couldn't make myself like her. And to top it all off-the book ended in the middle of nowhere! Very sudden. I found myself looking forward to what was going to happen next to Girl, and suddenly the end credits play. I was so surprised that I thought I had accidentally skipped some chapters, but I had not. To me, it was a very unsatisfactory ending to a very disappointing story. Would not recommend.

Heartwarming and life afffirming
What a wonderful story to compare and contrast two homo species. Both stories are compelling and the comparison between them is so subtle it’s hardly noticed. That’s how well it’s written in.

They were people just like us.
Great quick book. Makes me think more about our ancient ancestors. They have the same mindset as modern humans, but they lived in a much different and harsher world.

An enjoyable story.
I did not care for the abrupt shifting back and forth of the neanderthal and anthropologists perspective. However I did throughly enjoy the story of both women. It’s worth the listen.

Unsympathetic protagonist
Several of the reviewers offered harsh takes on the main narrator’s voice. My sense, though, is the narrator is not the problem. The problem is an entirely selfish and whiny protagonist, incredibly annoying. Very unsympathetic. Further, the dialogue of this character is wooden and inorganic. The interactions are often awkward and unfamiliar to normal conversation.
The plot helps gloss over this weakness, which is a good concept. The Neanderthal protagonist is much more approachable, which also helps.

A slow start as many great stories can be. I enjoyed the parallels of lives in the book. I would recommend this book.
