Rating: - Excellent read
I read this book aver 15 years ago and thought it was amazing. It follows on from 'the clan of the cave bear' and 'the valley of horses' both of which were top notch.

They arrive at Lion Camp, and for the first time, Ayla experiences living with a group of the Others. Big, bruff Talat, shrewd Nezzie, argumentative Frebec and Deegie, a young woman of her own age, all offer Ayla very different views of her own species. But it is perhaps the boy Rydag, half Other and half Flathead like Ayla's ... Read More
