Ayla, an injured and orphaned child adopted by a primitive tribe, carries within her the seed and hope of humankind in this epic of survival and destiny set at the dawn of prehistory. Reprint.
Reviews
"Auel manages to make all her characters fascinating and for the most part convincing, no easy feat, since unlike the foundling Ayla they speak with hand gestures, make abstractions rarely, and neither laugh nor cry...We find ourselves cheering when Ayla executes her daring rescues..."
"This book, which marks Jean Auel's personal transition from electronic technicial to full-time writer, tells the tale of a band of prehistoric hunter-gatherers living on the Crimean Peninsula near the shores of the Black Sea...She has written an exciting, imaginative and intuitively solid book."

| | The Geico Caveman Is Trying To Ban This Book
by panguitch, 8/2/2007 |

|
Pros: An engrossing level of detail.
Cons: Sometimes too much detail. Auel is overly enamored with her heroine.
The Bottom Line: A middle-aged woman's novice novel portrays a heroic girl oppressed by Neanderthal men. It's not hard to see this as Auel living out her fantasies.
Review: A Feminist Beginning In wish-fulfillment pulp literature for male audiences the heroes are daring, v
