Reviews
"In the tradition ofClan of the Cave Bear,Daughter of Kurais a highly imaginative recreation of a prehistoric matriarchy. The fascinating twist is an exploration of the roots of religion and the willingness of certain people to exploit it for personal power. I found it an intelligent and engrossing read."-- Elle Newmark, author ofThe Book of Unholy Mischief, "An intriguing look into what life might have been like in the hearts and minds of our ancient ancestors...The heartfelt story of a young woman's coming-of-age is fascinating and compelling."-- Dorothy Hearst, author of Promise of the Wolves

Synopsis
"At first, Snap was aware of a few background noises -- a baby cried, the fire crackled, one of the older children laughed. Eventually, the other sounds disappeared, and she heard only the ancient rhythm of the drums, the dancers' voices, and the sounds of her own feet as they beat a path to an unclear future."On the parched African earth more than half a million years ago sits the village of Kura, a matriarchal society of Homo erectus. Snap -- a young, passionate woman of Kura -- is destined to lead her people, and this year she must select a mate for the first time. Will she choose someone different each year, or will she find one mate she wants to pick over and over again, like her mother, Whistle, the next leader of Kura? As the Bonding ceremony approaches, Snap's future remains unknown. But Whistle, when her mate doesn't return, chooses a stranger with ideas far more dangerous than the lions that kill with a single slash.When Snap challenges the stranger's growing power one too many times, she is brutally cast out to survive or perish. Abandoned and alone, she risks her life -- and the future of her people -- to stand up against an unthinkable evil. Unknown to her, the same danger threatens other villages as well. Soon, Snap and a new band of outcasts will face a force more terrifying -- and deadly -- than any of Africa's natural threats.Both imaginative and believable,Daughter of Kuraastonishingly brings to life an ancient and untamed world. Austin has created an unforgettable heroine who comes of age in a thrilling tale of courage, loyalty, and passion., "Daughter of Kura" is a highly imaginative recreation of a prehistoric matriarchy. The fascinating twist is an exploration of the roots of religion and the willingness of certain people to exploit it for personal power.--Elle Newmark, author of "The Book of Unholy Mischief."

    Bien empaquetado, comunicación buena con el vendedor. La figura viene tal cual está descrita en la descripción. Figura original. Contento con la compra. Los gastos de envío al final salieron más caros de lo que se acordó en un primer momento, tuve que pagar los gastos de la aduana al recoger el paquete en la oficina de Correos, lo cual no estaba previsto.
