This month, Your Turn Book Club continues our Summer Reading Program theme, Unearth a Story, with a novel that brings the distant past to life through archaeology, discovery, and human connection.
Book Suggestion: The Last Neanderthal by Claire Cameron
weaves together two compelling stories—one set 40,000 years ago following a young Neanderthal woman, and the other in the present day as an archaeologist uncovers ancient remains that could reshape our understanding of human history. Blending prehistoric adventure with modern scientific discovery, this novel explores survival, family, and what it truly means to be human.
As you read, imagine the stories waiting to be uncovered beneath the earth and the discoveries that continue to connect us with our ancient past.
After reading, share your thoughts, favorite moments, or a short review by emailing lauren@morgancountylibrary.org.
Happy reading—and keep unearthing new stories all summer long!
