Synopsis

Once again Jean M. Auel opens the door of a time long past to reveal an age of wonder and danger at the dawn of the modern human race.Riding Whinney with Jondalar, the man she loves, and followed by the mare’s colt, Ayla ventures into the land of the Mamutoi—the Mammoth Hunters. She has finally found the Others she has been seeking. Though Ayla must learn their different customs and language, she is adopted because of her remarkable hunting ability, singular healing skills, and uncanny fire-making technique. She finds women friends and painful memories of the Clan she left behind, and meets Ranec, the dark-skinned, magnetic master carver of ivory, whom she cannot refuse—inciting Jondalar to a fierce jealousy that he tries to control by avoiding her.Throughout the icy winter the tension mounts, but warming weather will bring the great mammoth hunt and the mating rituals of the Summer Meeting, when Ayla must choose to remain with Ranec and the Mamutoi, or to follow Jondalar on a long journey into an unknown future.Third in the acclaimed Earth’s Children® series

WAY easier to read through this book than to have to listen to this person reading it, HATED the squeakiness of her voice so much I had to stop listening, also WAY too much information on how tools are made, seriously really like the STORY but can't get past all the minute details that I don't care about, sorry Jean you lost me on this one.

5 STARS Wow! These books are good! Now I’m beginning to see how they became such a craze back in the eighties.

My only complaint is......more

Goodreads review by Ellen on March 13, 2008

I have a huge Love hate relationship with these books. The author repeats herself over and over again; she treats the reader like they're stupid and cannot remember a thing. In fact I believe any good editor could cut these books down by hundreds of pages. Yet, this series is addicting. The first on......more

The love triangle of my nightmares lol This was a reread, having read the series several times since I was around eight years old. I have a love-hate relationship with The Mammoth Hunters. On the one hand, I love so many of the new characters introduced in this installment—especially Rydag, who is jus......more

I love the Earth's Children's Series by Jean Auel. I will say that the last 2 books were disappointing and the 4th book was what started that going down point. It is my opinion that this book, the 3rd book in the series is the best book. It is my favorite story. Everything that has been happening for......more
