Customer Reviews

Brilliantly evokes mankind of the distant past

Margaret Elphinstone's daring effort to portray mankind's distant past succeeds brilliantly. While many aspects of life 8,000 years ago are beyond our reach, The Gathering Night presents a highly plausible picture of the lifestyles, motivations, and beliefs of humans in that distant world. It is also a tight drama with compelling characters. Highly recommended
