In 1973, Peter Matthiessen and field biologist George Schaller traveled high into the remote mountains of Nepal to study the Himalayan blue sheep and possibly glimpse the rare and beautiful snow leopard. Matthiessen, a student of Z en Buddhism, was also on a spiritual quest to find the Lama of Shey at the ancient shrine on Crystal Mountain. As the climb proceeds, Matthiessen charts his inner path as well as his outer one.

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.

Unsympathetic protagonist
Revisado: 04-08-18
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.
