In The Horse Painters Peter Stockwell has managed to create an image of this period that not only captures the bleak other-worldliness of this glacial epoch, but also makes his characters sympathetic and even recognisable as long lost cousins.
The narrative of The Horse Painters tells the story of two teenage brothers, Umalik and Aku, who set out to avenge their sister’s murder. The boys’ mission, however, is not a simple question of blind retribution. In a world still governed by superstition and omens, the death of their sister - whose artistic skills was believed to be key to providing enough animals to hunt - could signal starvation and death for their family.
