Among the best trilogies

Quite Simply an Amazing and Remarkable Book. . .
I don't know how else I can describe this book except to say that I disliked absolutely nothing about it. Except that it had to end.

After the Ice: A Global Human History 20,000-5000 BC
Steven Mithen
Harvard University Press, 2006
Very Good ; 4.5 stars

Thoroughly enjoyed!
I have read all three books in the series, and the books do pull you in. You get attached to the characters and want to read more about them. You feel like you live in the village of Cape Light and know all the people personally. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Beautiful and poignant
A Gathering of Old Men is a beautiful portrait of a community that has quietly taken all that it can and will take no more. Men who have silently borne tragedy speak slowly, haltingly, solemnly that they will suffer no more. They will stand up for themselves, for their ...
