The stunning epic that stirred the imagination of millions. Here is a novel of awesome beauty and power. A moving saga about people, relationships and the boundaries of love. Through Jean Auel's magnificent storytelling, we are taken back to the dawn of mankind and swept up in the wonderful world of a very special heroine, Ayla. Her enthralling story is one we all can share. A natural disaster has left young Ayla alone, wandering, fending for herself in an unfamiliar land. One day, she is discovered by the Clan of the Cave bear, men and women far different from her own people. Tall, blond, blue-eyed Ayla is a mysterious stranger to the Clan and at first they mistrust her and cast her out. But as she grows to know them and to learn the ways of the Clan, she is welcomed. And as she leads them in their struggle for survival, the Clan come to worship Ayla. For in her blood flows the future of humanity.

"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."
