Kol and his brothers are coming of age in a male-only hunter-gatherer tribe. But when two unmarried girls from the south appear, misunderstandings and a history of intertribal violence threaten their alliance. With allusions to Pride and Prejudice, Eshbaugh's gender-swapped prehistoric adaptation cleverly reimagines the characters' desperate marital situation and the slowly developing relationship between earnest Kol and mysterious Mya.
