Everyone knows that love can cross generations, but the story of how love also crosses ages is a wonderful one. I read this as I was in my pregnancy with my second child, and it helped me to understand that I would love my little boy, no matter what.

The strength of this story is not in the science, but rather in the emotion. ( )

Asimov and Silverberg do a fine job of expanding Asimov's most poignant short story into an affecting novel. The premise is that a scientific corporation has learned how to pluck individuals from the distant past to study, before returning them whence they came. Edith Fellowes is a nurse hired to care for "the ugly little boy", a Neanderthal child brought temporarily to our time. This is a wonderful expansion of one of Asimov's best and most atypical stories. ( )

It’s a story of a scientific project that reaches back to prehistoric times and gets samples. They decide to get a Neanderthal child and have a lady working with this child in a protected area to see what they can learn. It is quite readable and preposterous… ( )
