About this listen
Tekla, son of an ancient shaman, loses Ka Li when she is torn from his life by a brutal tribe of Denisovans in a Late Pleistocene kidnapping.
Ka Li escapes but is unarmed and forced to flee across the Bering land bridge where she becomes hopelessly lost in the endless tracts of North America. Only Tekla cares enough to search for her over the years. As Ka Li survives fierce predators and scarce resources, she leaves behind a series of signal cairns to help Tekla find her.
Skipping forward 60,000 years, Helen Ryland, a mid-20th century archaeologist, unearths one of Ka Li’s surviving signal cairns and realizes she has found trace of people who populated the Americas even before the Clovis culture. Helen’s detective work tracking Ka Li’s timeless signals across the Alaskan wilderness now intertwines with Ka Li’s story. As Helen solves the puzzle of the signal cairns she finds universal fame and suffers devastating misfortune. In the end, Helen discovers that science in isolation cannot answer all of her questions for Tekla’s devotion to Ka Li had not died even though 600 centuries had passed.

An archeologist in modern day Alaska is on the trail of a European woman she believed crossed the Bering land bridge from Siberia to the America's some 60,000 years ago. It's a beautifully crafted yarn full of emotion, detail and magic, not that sort of magic...... more the sort that inspires wonder at the miracle of human creativity.
I fair ripped through it and decided that chiding myself for not being able to grasp the intellectual cleverness of Rushdie was a waste of time. To finish a book and feel joyful and inspired by the experience is about as good as it gets..... for me anyways.
Beautiful and Inspiring
