Prehistoric couple Ayla and Jondalar, along with their animal entourage, abandon their isolated life and rejoin Jondalar's tribe, the Zelandonii. Ayla has trouble adjusting to Zelandonii ways, and some of Jondalar's people resent her. Tensions mount as the Summer Meeting approaches.
I like Jean Auel books enough to keep reading them. But she describes the prehistoric environment alot more than I want. I know she puts a lot of research into each book. She also repeats characteristics of the clan over and over again. If you can overlook the repeat of clan characteristics and relax and enjoy the prehistory lesson, the story is really interesting. I am waiting impatiently for the next book!
