The prehistoric world was so detailed and believable! I loved the people, the animals, and the settings in it. She's a scientist, a naturalist, and an anthropologist, and that was so clear in her writing. I love this author and wish she had written many more books. At the end of the book, those two points converged. The timeline in Reindeer Moon was handled in a way I haven't seen before, but loved: In chapter three, we learned the main character was dead, and so the book contained two timelines: The living character growing, maturing, and so moving towards her death, and the same character as a spirit slowly remembering her spirit life, moving back towards her 'birth' as one. As I hadn't read it again since then, it was basically new to me. Reindeer Moon was published in 1987, and I read it sometime around then (scary to think that was nearly 30 years ago!). ![]() Reindeer Moon is one of those that went well beyond its genre. Many of them don't live up to that original example, but some of them surpass it. As often happens, when one book is that big of a best seller, more books of that type end up on bookstore shelves. ![]() Rating: Loved (Hated-Disliked-Okay-Liked-Loved)īack in 1980, Clan of the Cave Bear was published and was very, very popular.
