Publisher Comments:

Jean M. Auel’s enthralling Earth’s Children® series has become a literary phenomenon, beloved by readers around the world. In a brilliant novel as vividly authentic and entertaining as those that came before, Jean M. Auel returns us to the earliest days of humankind and to the captivating adventures of the courageous woman called Ayla.

With her companion, Jondalar, Ayla sets out on her most dangerous and daring journey--away from the welcoming hearths of The Mammoth Hunters and into the unknown. Their odyssey spans a beautiful but sparsely populated and treacherous continent, the windswept grasslands of Ice Age Europe, casting the pair among strangers.

Some will be intrigued by Ayla and Jondalar, with their many innovative skills, including the taming of wild horses and a wolf; others will avoid them, threatened by what they cannot understand; and some will threaten them. But Ayla, with no memory of her own people, and Jondalar, with a hunger to return to his, are impelled by their own deep drives to continue their trek across the spectacular heart of an unmapped world to find that place they can both call home.

Reverend Mother, March 20, 2013 (view all comments by Reverend Mother)
This was not a good book. Auel spends pages upon pages describing vast grasslands, vistas, mountains, rock outcroppings, and migrating animals. It seems endless. In between these long, "plain passages" (sorry :)) is the same story told over and over and over to each settlement Ayla and Jondalar encounter: how they came to travel with tame animals. This incredibly boring book could have been a pamphlet. Don't waste your time. Read the first in the series (Clan of the Cave Bear), which was great, and be done. None of the others compare, but this one was the worst.
