In a coastal Stone Age village, the stoneworkers survive by the supremacy of their skills, unmoved by the change in the world around them. But there is a troublesome storyteller among them. He summons a woman whose defiant survival will threaten them all, and whose death will foretell the demise of their order - the coming of bronze and the end of stone . . .
The one-armed hero and part narrator of 'The Gift Of Stones' spins fabulous tales out of his own unsatisfactory experiences. They are as gripping and revealing as subtitles in an anthropological documentary and fill the numbing void caused by culture shock and incomprehensible change.
