A brilliant novel about the discovery of a fragment of a prehistoric cave painting that leads back to an episode of tragedy and heroism in WWII - and to the creation of the painting itself, 17,000 years ago. A piece of prehistoric stone art from the same period as the famous Lascaux cave paintings - 17,000 years ago - is brought to a London auction house by the son of a British hero of world War II, whose father left it to him. A storm of publicity ensues, which is only increased by the disappearance of the painting. Even the President of France becomes involved. As the story moves to France, both the tale of the stone's discovery, during the War, and its origins, millennia ago, are told in this wonderful novel which evokes both THE CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR and Ken Follett's THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH.

Fascinating to find out there's a faux Lascaux. Enjoyed the flashback connection between cave painters and World War II Resistance fighters. Moon was an inspiring heroine using her talent and determination to face off the Keepers. You Go Girl! Plus, the wine varietals gave a good staring point to try French vin.

History' s and art's backstage
Spaning some thousand years of human machinations an enjoyable pageturner for literate and refined tastes. Recomended for those who love the region of Perigord, question the forces that shaped our destinies in world war 2 and cherishe prehistoric art.
