Part Two Of Two Parts

It is 30,000 years ago, the final Ice Age of the Pleistocene Epoch. The earth is peopled by Neanderthals -- squat, bow-legged, nonverbal, they live in clans, exist by foraging, and are ruled by taboos. The Cro-Magnons, the people who will replace them, are just emerging.

When an earthquake destroys a Cro-Magnon dwelling, they tame the prairie, to the sudden fortune of a lucky few.

"A ripping yarn...a gorgeous piece of work." (Saturday Review of Literature)

First published January 1,1980

I love this book actually I love the whole series but this book was really good. I recommend it to anybody who likes this type of genre. Although there are some explicit sex scenes in this series.

I have found that Jean Auel has been instrumental in helping me to appreciate the pre-history that pre dated our Native American tribes. In fact this book takes place, I believe, on the European continent. His fiction based on archaeological findings is presented in such a way that you never know you are learning something very important. All of Jean's books are that way and I value every one. I have tried to read every one of Jean's books and have come away with a better knowledge of history and pre history than I ever learned in school with little or no pain of boredom whatsoever. I only wish to emulate Jean's excellent style in my own books. Kitty Sutton

Ayla has been my favourite heroine ever since I read this book. Auel has created two unforgettable characters. Hats off to the author's imagination and research .
