Synopsis
This novel of awesome beauty and power is a moving saga about people, relationships, and the boundaries of love. Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read Through Jean M. Auel's magnificent storytelling we are taken back to the dawn of modern humans, and with a girl named Ayla we are swept up in the harsh and beautiful Ice Age world they shared with the ones who called themselves the Clan of the Cave Bear . A natural disaster leaves the young girl wandering alone in an unfamiliar and dangerous land until she is found by a woman of the Clan, people very different from her own kind. To them, blond, blue-eyed Ayla looks peculiar and ugly--she is one of the Others, those who have moved into their ancient homel∧ but Iza cannot leave the girl to die and takes her with them. Iza and Creb, the old Mog-ur, grow to love her, and as Ayla learns the ways of the Clan and Iza's way of healing, most come to accept her. But the brutal and proud youth who is destined to become their next leader sees her differences as a threat to his authority. He develops a deep and abiding hatred for the strange girl of the Others who lives in their midst, and is determined to get his revenge., This novel of awesome beauty and power is a moving saga about people, relationships, and the boundaries of love.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.

    Excellent Read

    I read this book many years ago and enjoyed it so much that I knew that I would be reading it again, but have moved several times since then, my copy was misplaced and finally disappeared all together. I have now obtained a used copy of this excellent book and am again captivated by this depiction of a thoroughly modern woman in a prehistoric world. The descriptions of the characters is completely believable and compelling. Descriptive passages of people of the stone age world and their environment are vivid. Much of the story takes place in Ayla's mind as her emerging evolutionary intellect enables her to cope with the perils and challenges of a very dangerous and violent young Earth.

    Well written tale about a long time ago. I had this book as a hand-me-down years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. This particular book arrived on schedule and was delivered as described.

  • must read

    I have not been able to read it but highly recommended by many that had. Confused as to why the cover on the book I received is different than the one showed though. I am hoping it is the same.
