When an earthquake destroys her family's camp, Ayla is left orphaned and alone in an unfamiliar and dangerous land, with death all but guaranteed.
But then she is found by a woman of the Clan, a people very different from her own. To them, Ayla looks peculiar and ugly - her blonde hair and blue eyes marking her out as one of the Others, who have recently invaded their homeland. Yet Iza, the Clan's medicine woman, cannot leave the child to die.
As Ayla learns the ways of the Clan, Iza grows to love her, and the rest of the Clan begins to accept her. Everyone, that is, except Brun, the brutal and proud youth who is destined to become their next leader. Where others see similarity, he can only see difference. And as his hatred for the strange girl of the Others deepens, Brun grows more determined to get his revenge . . .

Daily Mail
«Meticulously researched and fascinating . . . she gives us sound evidence for what Neanderthalers ate, how they cooked, how they hunted and made clothes and medicine, how they communicated, what they thought, how they might have believed - but it is a work of the purest imagination for all that»
Guardian
«A major bestseller . . . a remarkable work of imagination»
Daily Express
«Magic»
Telegraph
«Beautiful, exciting, imaginative»
New York Times
«It's nice to rediscover an old classic that, upon reading 30 years after it was first published, still has appeal . . . Auel's simple but engaging storytelling skill is still a joy.»
