"Sawyer is a writer of boundless confidence and bold scientific extrapolation." (The New York Times)
Fascinating

The cool Sci fi components run out after the initial third and lapses into a commonplace narrative.
The portrayal of RCMP and French Canadians, and even Tim Hortons is poorly done. Lip service to Canadian icons without the gravitas to make these important items relatable. Stuart McLeans’ portayals celebrate Canadians in their native habitat. Not so much here. I’d argue that this is an important part of the story that missed being told well. Perhaps this is a Canadian “lite” novel meant for American readers.
After 28 chapters I’m hoping that Sawyer pulls this out of the fire.
Good initial hook, middling middlings. 🤔 No Tim bit for you.

Backstory - there is a link created between two Earths - one where Homo sapiens became the dominant primate, and one where the Neandertals kept that position. Theirs is portrayed as a much more idyllic world. One of their members gets trapped on the Homo sapiens side, and all the predictable things happen - love interest included.
Complex parallel world

The narrator leaves a lot to be desired though. He does not do women's voices very well. I swore one of the doctors was Indian by the accent he was doing until the doctor said he was African American.
Takes place in Ontario, Canada.
A good listen

But could do without the authors anti Ontario Conservative party opinions being randomly thrown into the story.
Disappointing
