Told during the dawn of man, this story is set in Africa, where the first proper humans roamed free.
When my mother dies of malaria, I turn to Penelope, an elegant woman, to be my companion/sister, as we wander around this beautiful, wonderful place exploring the nature of human behaviour and increasing our sisterly bond.
A subplot explains how Marina became the first woman to crawl out onto dry land, journeying to fresh water to engage in a skin-shedding ritual to begin giving birth.
