Between Grandmother Mountain and the cold sea, Alaia and her family
live off the land. But when her brother goes hunting and never
returns, the fragile balance of life is upset. Half-starved and
maddened with grief, Alaia's mother follows her visions and goes in
search of her lost son. The Gathering Night is a story of conflict,
loss, love, adventure and devastating natural disaster. This
gripping novel is set deep in our stone-age past, but resonates as
a parable for our troubled planet 8,000 years on.
