It’s said that women and men are from two different planets when it comes to communication, but how can they overcome the obstacles of prehistoric times when one of them simply doesn’t have the ability to comprehend language?
Ehd’s a caveman living on his own in a harsh wilderness. He’s strong and intelligent, but completely alone. When he finds a beautiful young woman in his pit trap, it’s obvious to him that she is meant to be his mate. He doesn’t know where she came from, she’s wearing some pretty odd clothing, and she makes a lot of noises with her mouth that give him a headache. Still, he’s determined to fulfill his purpose in life – provide for her, protect her, and put a baby in her.
Elizabeth doesn’t know where she is or exactly how she got there. She’s confused and distressed by her predicament, and there’s a caveman hauling her back to his cavehome. She’s not at all interested in Ehd’s primitive advances, and she just can’t seem to get him to listen. No matter what she tries, getting her point across to this primitive but beautiful man is a constant – and often hilarious – struggle.
With only each other for company, they must rely on one another to fight the dangers of the wild and prepare for the winter months. As they struggle to coexist, theirs becomes a love story that transcends language and time.

There isn't much to say on this novel. So I'm just going to get to the point.
I had read this book going in blind. I was recommended by another follower, and all I was told was it's about a caveman, and it's funny.
I never even read the blurb so I honestly had no idea.
Honestly, it had taken me a little to get into, but then once I understood more, I found everything funny. How an author wrote this beautiful story is beyond me. No words are shed, no communication other than actions are given, yet I felt like I heard everything they were trying to tell one another.
I do wish we had it in Beth's POV or in Ehd's words BEH. Even after reading the ending I still wish we had some in her POV, but then I guess we wouldn't have had the big shock at the end, which I'm telling you blew me the hell away. I was like NOOOOOOOWAYYYYYY.
I will also admit, I did skip through most parts as it did drag, and found the same things happening over and over. Still, Transcendence is unlike anything I've ever read before and is worth a look.
3.5*
