Synopsis
Hunt, trek, and feast among Neanderthals in this stunning novel by the radical Nobel Laureate and author of Lord of the Flies, introduced by Ben Okri.
This was a different voice; not the voice of the people. It was the voice of other.
When spring comes, the people leave their winter cave, foraging for honey, grubs, and the hot richness of a deer''s brain. They awaken the fire to heat their naked bodies, lay down their thorn bushes, and share pictures in their minds. But strange things are happening: inexplicable scents and sounds. Imaginable beasts are half-glimpsed in the forest; upright creatures of bone-faces and deerskins. What the people do not know is that their day is already over ...

''A stun gun to read ... Truly a masterpiece.'' Monique Roffey
''An earthquake in the petrified forests of the English novel.'' Arthur Koestler
''An astonishing, underrated novel.'' Robert MacFarlane
''Beautiful, powerful ... A visionary dream … Shakespearean.'' Ted Hughes
''A master fabulist, and a brilliantly creative interpreter of remote history ... An iconoclast.’ John Fowles
''A tour de force ... Genius.'' Daily Telegraph
''Alarming, eye-opening, desolating, mind-invading and unique.'' New Statesman
''I admire Golding pushing beyond his own experiences to explore ancient worlds and altered states of consciousness.'' Rose Tremain
