Summary: A must read for fans of pre-history!
Review: A great addition to the genre of historical fiction. A very good read, fresh in its new location (we can leave the frozen tundra of Europe for a while, the red deer and elk need a break) and a new culture to get to know.

Summary: GREAT

Summary: Struggles of a woman
Review: Chagak, a young girl living through the struggles that were very difficult for her. A strong character is what pulled through, the presence of Kayugh made her rethink. Wanting yet afraid that all might be lost again. Love grew and transformed her as you will read in the next novel, My Sister Moon.
Moved me, with all her emotions. A truly enthralling novel with the descriptions of the situations and traditions.

Summary: WOW!
Review: Hey, I am 13 years old, and I really got into this book! I never was all that interested in ancient peoples (fiction of course) and I picked up this book because I was bored out of my mind, to tell the truth. I am a major fan of Brian Jacques, and I never thought I would actually like this book. I loved this book for a lot of reasons and I would definatly read it again. In the beginning, Chagak loses her entire famiy, including her future husband. She is the only one to survive, and of course her baby brother Pup. Pup soon dies, and Chagak is left alone. She then makes friends with the carver Shugannan and she lives on his island. A lot happens after that but I wont give it away. I really reccomend this book and I am sure that anyone to read it will enjoy it and want to keep on reading the following books. Sue Harrison, I applaud you and all of your great books, including all of the others, not just this one!

Summary: A No-Sleep Page Turner!
Review: How can I not compare this to the Auel series? I found this one more readable - even somewhat simplistic, BUT a real page-turner. A light enjoyable read that wisked me away to the past where survival hinged on courage and overcoming limitations - but not without heart. Sue Harrison uplifts the traditional roles of sexes. Chagak seems more human to me than Ayla (who seemed to magically be able to do everything). This book is provacative. I feel a bit nostalgic for simpler times....is all our progress in this electronic age really that when we are unable to connect with Nature and feel our contribution to the family and community (as described well in this book)?

Summary: Transport yourself to a different time and place!
Review: I am lucky enough to have met Ms. Harrison on several occassions when I lived in Northern Michigan. I went on to read her first book, and found it as entrancing as the author herself. The journey of Chagak is one that anyone can identify with, which is the real impact of this book. Although her life and time are so far removed from my own, I found much of her in myself. And as many have mentioned before, Ms. Harrison is impeccable in her research. Is this book an anthropolgical text, feminist adventure, or moving love story? Decide for yourself. Become enthralled. Revel in the joy of this book.

Summary: Touches your soul...
Review: I first read this book about 5 or more years ago, and everytime I talk to people about reading, I recommed it.. I have NEVER read a more touching story and the way Sue Harrison describes the surroundings, the people and their feelings is just impressive!! If you want to read a "One of a Kind" book, this is it...I am 100% sure that you are gonna love it as much as I do. I still keep this book and I'm about to read the following stories and someday my now 20 month old baby, will read them as well....Enjoy them!

Summary: UNBEATABLE!!!
Review: I have read many books by many authors. I have quite a collection I read over and over every year.But Sue Harrison has a way of drawing the reader in. I can smell the salt air, feel the cold, hunger, and taste the meat. The culture lover will enjoy her books. I have been reading her books since Mother Earth Father Sky hit the stores. She knows her stuff. You will be hooked......line n sinker.

Summary: I became a fan of Harrison soon after reading this book!
Review: I have to admit, I never read any series like this before. "Mother Earth Father Sky" was given to me by a dear friend who also enjoyed the series. I found this book to be almost like a soap opera with great character development. It is almost as if you feel like you know the characters. I read all three books in the series and was sad when the story ended.

Summary: Finally!
Review: I remember reading this book while I was in High School. The Librarian was always encouraging me to read the new books that came in...or maybe I was her guinea pig to find out if they were any good. Anyhow, I read one of the new books that she had, Mother Earth, Father Sky, and loved it! For about 2 years now I've had this book on my mind, but for the life of me I couldn't remember the title OR the author. Good Luck trying to find something with only a partial memory! Well I finally found it and now I know who the author is too!
