Jean Auel
The Clan Of The Cave Bear
Bantam
1984
This is the first book in the "Earth Children" series which follows the early life of Ayla, a prehistoric woman brought up by people slightly lower on the evolutionary scale, and what happens to her when she goes off on her own. This was a very well-researched book. The later books were not quite as good, but still enjoyable.
The others (not necessarily in order) are:
- The Valley of Horses
- The Mammoth Hunters (Earth's Children (Paperback))
- The Plains of Passage (Earth's Children)
