À propos de cet audio

It's said that women and men are from two different planets when it comes to communication, but how can they overcome the obstacles of prehistoric times when one of them simply doesn't have the ability to comprehend language?

Ehd's a caveman living on his own in a harsh wilderness. He's strong and intelligent but completely alone. When he finds a beautiful, young woman in his pit trap, it's obvious to him that she is meant to be his mate. He doesn't know where she came from; she's wearing some pretty odd clothing, and she makes a lot of noises with her mouth that give him a headache. Still, he's determined to fulfill his purpose in life - provide for her, protect her, and put a baby in her.

Elizabeth doesn't know where she is or exactly how she got there. She's confused and distressed by her predicament, and there's a caveman hauling her back to his cave home. She's not at all interested in Ehd's primitive advances, and she just can't seem to get him to listen. No matter what she tries, getting her point across to this primitive but beautiful man is a constant - and often hilarious - struggle.

With only each other for company, they must rely on one another to fight the dangers of the wild and prepare for the winter months. As they struggle to coexist, theirs becomes a love story that transcends language and time.

Contains mature themes.

I really enjoyed hearing this from the Neanderthal’s thought process and had a very interesting ending to it and epilogue

Told from a Neanderthal perspective

I loved this book. It was one of the most endearing and engaging pieces I've read in a long time. Hearing the character's internal dialogue was refreshing, simple yet complex, and made me look at all dialogue and silence differently. What a lovely love story. I just wish "Luffs" was on audio too!

One of the best audio books

I really enjoyed this book and was impressed by the amount of detail in the story. It was interesting listening to the prehistoric male’s thoughts and be reminded of the human need for survival and protection of tribe. Being in an individualistic society like the city of Toronto, it was refreshing.

Very original

I loved the story it was very intriguing with the concept of time travel pack to caveman times. There is almost no dialogue in this book, but it still captivated my attention.
If you enjoy it, I also highly recommend the novella called, “Luffs” which is in Beh’s point of view.
My only complaint is the narrator of the story. Some of his pronunciations (Although correct) had me laughing out loud just because of the way he says them.
Overall 10/10. Super captivating story and excellent ending.

Absolutely loved it!.

Ok, this one made me cry. Beautiful character, beautiful love story. Best book for people looking for language barrier trope.

A truly beautiful love story

I was really moved by how compassionate the both characters were, consistently through the book. There were struggles in communication, but it seemed both were eventually able to identify the underlying good intentions of eachothers actions. I think the story very clearly identified the need for human companionship and the teamwork necessary to get through the difficulties of life.

I do think he should have been able to pick up on language and its practical applications after a life time together. Like talking about going hunting across the lake "tomorrow"... I'm not sure how to communicate and coordinate that between a large group with grunts, but ok. It did clearly seem like he just preferred silence in general and that definitely is a personality type.

Yes there's a lot of sex, but honestly if you are both sexually viable adults thrown together to survive and emotionally lean on eachother through strife, and the story is being told from the perspective of a heterosexual male in a time of very little extra curricular activities or light! It makes sense to me. Similarly, his association between sex and being accepted by his mate, and with holding of sex as feeling rejected and unwanted rung true to me.

I liked it

Really well done and fascinating. The POV being from the caveman made this absolutely amazing.
The way things are described is just mind blowing because you know what it is but at the same time if you hadn’t seen it before the descent makes sense.
Both the writing at the sorry telling are amazing.

I started it months ago. Got to chapter 5 or 6 and just gave up. Went back to it yesterday and I’m so glad I did. So good. Lots of naked wrestling, survival, his inner dialogue is so funny at times and wonderfully manly. She is annoying at times, but it would have been an insane experience for her. Although you don’t get any of her inner dialogue until the last 5 min. And the ending. Omg I was in tears, a true HEA for a millennia.

I’m so glad I gave this another try

Liked the book overall, but the first few chapters were a little slow moving. Almost gave up listening, but it ended up being really good.
