I picked up this book because I thought it would be similar to Jean Auel's "Earth Children" series. (Sadly, I love those Ayla books. I read them in high school and have so many fond memories of dog-earing the dirty parts. My parents thought I was reading historical fiction - ha!)

This book was similar since it had a prehistoric setting, but there were a million characters and no dirty parts. Overall I liked it, but I had trouble keeping track of all the people. There were two tribes and the names were all very similar - "One Who Cries", "Dancing Fox," "Ice Fire." Plus, there was "Grandfather White Bear" (polar bears) and "Wind Woman" (the wind.) It made my eye twitch.

I still liked it once I figured out who everyone was and I'll probably check out the next one in the series. (Just not anytime soon - reading this was hard work!) ( )

Fictional story of the people of prehistoric North America.

Ulvedrømmer leder sit folk til beboelige egne i Canada for 14.000 år siden efter en ulv har vist ham vejen i drømme...

Gripping, colorfully imagined world of how 1st humans came to North America over land bridge. 1st book (chronologically) in series of similar works by this husband/wife team of archeologists & authors. Like "Clan of the Cave Bear" books, but even more intriguing, ea book deals with diff ancient Native American people. Great storytelling w/ full immersion in mysticism of each "people", and imaginative "what if's" of how ea culture came to be, or came to disappear. I've read all their books & enjoyed each one. This is still my favorite of the series. ( )

The first in the First North Americans series that currently consists of 17 novels, but each book stands alone. Michael W. and Kathleen O'Neal Gear have brought our ancestors and their cultures to life. Each of the book is a 5 Star Rating and deserves to be read and re-read. But because I'm a sentimental sap, The People of the Wolves is my favorite, simply because it was the first one I read. ( )
