She arrives in the land of the man she loves, but his people are wary of her and think of the Clan who cared for her as animals that resemble people and who are not much smarter than beasts. Ayla has brought with her two horses and a wolf over which she has uncanny control. Ayla vows to learn from the Zelandonii and hopes, in turn, to teach them. She is particularly pleased to meet the spiritual leader of the tribe, a fellow healer with whom she is able to share medical skills and knowledge. But Ayla's greatest problem is to convince her new hosts that she is from a tribe of human beings, not the subhumans they are regarded as. And when she gives birth to her eagerly awaited child, she is forced to accept that she and her child will have to play a very significant role in the clouded destiny of the Zelandon.<p> Auel is particularly sharp in her characterisation of Ayla, the woman who is foreign and strange in this new land, and her heroine's clashes with her new-found people are handled skilfully. The reader is immersed in another world, one whose every detail is skilfully evoked, while the writing has all the colour and vividness of Auel's previous books.--<I>Barry Forshaw</I> 2982200 book 2002 The Shelters of Stone (Earth's Children, # 5) total:3735|5:1080|4:1165|3:1002|2:359|1:129| 3735 13913 4682 213 1 5 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Mon Nov 05 04:54:34 -0800 2007 Mon Nov 05 07:15:19 -0800 2007 more...]]> 2 3 false false Wed Oct 15 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Feb 11 10:15:05 -0800 2008 Wed Oct 15 10:04:04 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 3 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Wed Aug 01 08:35:24 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 08:44:11 -0700 2007 The Clan of the Cave Bear, which was captivating in its detail and character development.
