Second in a series, but this one I almost enjoy more than the first. Although the switching of perspectives in necessary to the story, it is always slightly annoying to get to a really good part in one and suddenly you're jumping across the continent to the other. But stil! I love that Ayla is so independent, but still craves attachment. Baby is funny enough in print to provoke my imagination and make me see it myself. I can't help but laugh at those images!

Ayla has left the Clan, and now lives on her own. This is so for most of the book, until she finds Jondalar, a human male, one of her own kind. It is then that she has to decide wether to stay alone, or come out of isolation and interact with her own kind. Also in this book, you get to know Jondalar, as he and his brother's journey is shown before he gets into contact with Ayla.

This book is just as good as the last one, and the only negative thing I have to say about it, is that sometimes a description of a proces (like boat making) was a bit too long. Otherwise, a good follow-up on the first book. ( )

Follows on from Clan of the Cave Bear and is a very good read with a good love interest. Jean Auel's view of prehistoric times seems spot on and her interpretation of how hominids and Neanderthal’s seems amazingly believable. ( )

After Ayla's exile from the Clan, she lives in a valley alone....until she meets wounded Jondalar, which leads to epic hotness. ( )

This was as good as Clan of the Cave bear. I missed the interaction with the Neanderthals but this is still a good story. Well worth reading. ( )
