Ayla is pregnant. How will Jondalar's mom react? Or his bitchy jilted fiancée? Ayla wows her future in-laws by striking fire from flint and taming a wild wolf. But most regard her Neanderthal adoptive Clan as subhuman "flatheads." Clan larynxes can't quite manage language, and Ayla must convince the Zelandonii that Clan sign language isn't just arm-flapping. Zelandonii and Clan are skirmishing, and those who interbreed are deemed 'abominations.' What would Jondalar's tribe think if they knew Ayla had to abandon her half-breed son in Clan country? The plot is slow to unfold, because Auel's first goal is to pack the tale with period Pleistocene detail, provocative speculation, and bits of romance, sex, tribal politics, soap opera, and homicidal wooly rhino-hunting adventure. It's an enveloping fact-based fantasy, a genre-crossing time trip to the Ice Age. 000466406 650_0 $$aAyla (Fictitious character)$$vFiction. 000466406 650_0 $$aPrehistoric peoples$$vFiction. 000466406 650_0 $$aGlacial epoch$$vFiction. 000466406 651_0 $$aEurope$$vFiction. 000466406 655_7 $$aHistorical fiction.$$2lcgft 000466406 8001_ $$aAuel, Jean M.$$tEarth's children. 000466406 85200 $$bgen$$hPS3551.U36$$iS54$$i2003 000466406 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:466406$$pGLOBAL_SET 000466406 980__ $$aBIB 000466406 980__ $$aBOOK
