A voyage of discovery into the life of a remote aboriginal
community in the Siberian Arctic, where the reindeer has been a
part of daily life since Palaeolithic times. The Reindeer People is
the first in a series of reissues of Megan Lindholm's (Robin Hobb)
classic backlist titles. It is set in the harsh wilderness of a
prehistoric North America, and tells the story of a tribe of nomads
and hunters as they try to survive, battling against enemy tribes,
marauding packs of wolves and the very land itself. Living on the
outskirts of the tribe Tillu was happy spending her time tending
her strange, slow dreamy child Kerlew and comunning with the
spirits to heal the sick and bring blessing on new births. However
Carp, the Shaman, an ugly wizened old man whose magic smelled foul
to Tillu desired both mother and child. Tillu knew Carp's magic
would steal her son and her soul. Death waited in the snows of the
Tundra, but Tillu knew which she would prefer... Gritty and
realistic, it's reminiscent of Jean Auel's Clan of the Cave Bear
but written in the compelling style of the author who produced the
bestselling Assassin's Apprentice.
