Title: Out of Date
Product review: I couldn't get through this novel. I tried and tried, but it just didn't measure up. It's big failing is that it makes far too many assumptions about Minoan Crete based on Gimbutas' work. Most scholars don't follow her template for Minoan Crete...the hippie/peaceful artisan thing just doesn't hold up any longer. I also found the characters rather uninteresting, although the main female character war intriguing. Anyway, since I just lost interest in the book and couldn't finish, I'll just say that it just doesn't jive with what we know about Minoan and Akkhain society.
