The Inheritors |
An extraordinary story of a group of Neanderthals, struggling for survival, who have no real language but some telepathy, a highly developed sense of smell and understand nature as an animated force. They encounter an alien group – home sapiens - which is both incomprehensible and a threat and what follows is highly testing and in the end, life changing. There is an astonishing switch of perspective at the end. It all adds up to a vivid and moving story, brilliantly imagined.
