In a brilliant and ambitious thriller, which combines elements of Jean Auel and Ken Follett into a multifaceted tale of love and war, Martin Walker brings to life an extraordinary work of prehistoric cave art and the struggle to possess it in our own time. Walker’s richly interwoven novel The Caves of Perigord opens with the arrival of a mysterious package for a young American woman, working in a London auction house. It contains a 17,000-year-old fragment of a cave painting, left to her by her father, a former World War II hero. Filled with historically accurate details and imaginative re-creations of prehistoric life, this novel blends a complex plot and richly diverse characters into a seamless narrative of romance and heroism, from past to present.
