hi all
Honestly the whole saga is more than 4000 pages and not one minute you are bored. The author had strong historical references and the book is very well done. She (Leyla) is doing herself and in a short period all the discoveries made by certainly a lot of ancestors and in a wider range of time.
But in fact some théories like Leyla having a child with a Neanderthal man, which suppose homo sapiens and Neanderthalians possibility of having mixed and given descendance, was excluded by scientists up till now but has just been recently exposed in Nature as a high possibility in 2010 after genomic studies of neanderthal remains.
If you know about prehistorical times, you have a good opportunity to travel in time and imagine what life was.
One of the ten best historical novel I read last 10 years.
If you like prehistory, it is a must...
