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 . . .

Reseñas de la Crítica

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.

Beautiful, exciting, imaginative

Fascinating

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

A major bestseller . . . a remarkable work of imagination

Magic

The story

I remember first reading this book when I was 16. The audio version didn’t disappoint!

The audio is even better than the book

I read the book years ago, and it has stick with me as a truly memorable series. The audio version exceeded my expectations as the narrator was excellent, and it was extremely well done overall.

A journey back in time

I found this story absolutely capitaving. I've visited many cave dwelling where there is evidence of of Neanderthal and other ancients peoples. This story brought it all to life in the most vivid way. Loved it! Loved the narration too!

very good narrator for a familiar tale

If you could sum up The Clan of the Cave Bear in three words, what would they be?

i read these books when I was a teenager and was looking forward to hearing them again. There is a version that I found online but the narrator was terrible! Reading like she was reading a recipe book. This narrator was very good and I enjoyed the story just as much the second time round.

Live it!

If you could sum up The Clan of the Cave Bear in three words, what would they be?

An ancient journey!
