"Gunjaric's writing impresses with rich details, memorable scenes, and the symbolism she gives to natural elements, such as the North Star, a guiding landmark for the main characters. The way Gunjaric skillfully creates an authentic atmosphere, rich with details about the daily lives of the people from prehistoric times, makes the book special. Gunjaric captures the essence of the deep connection between humans and nature in a setting that reflects the fragile harmony between past and present. It offers an escape into a forgotten world, inviting us to reflect upon the connection between all humans and universal values that transcend time and space."
