Mammoth Hunters, The (Book 3 Of Earth's Children)

Description:
Leaving the valley of horses with Jondalar, the handsome man she has nursed back to health and come to love, Ayla embarks on a journey that will lead her to the Mamutoi; the Mammoth Hunters. But as she settles into this new life among a people at first strange and disturbingly different, Ayla finds herself irresistibly drawn to Ranec, their master-carver. Ultimately, she is compelled to make a fateful choice between the two men. Jean Auel's imaginative reconstruction of pre-historic life, rich in detail of language, culture, myth and ritual, has become a set text in schools and colleges around the world.

Review:
'The authenticity of background detail, the lilting prose rhythms and the appealing conceptual audacity continue to work their spell.' -- Publishers Weekly 'Enjoy spending this holiday season falling back in time.' -- Cosmopolitan 'Clearly falls into the 'unputdownable' category ... once again Jean Auel presents a compelling, vivid and authentic picture of man's existence at the dawn of history, an epic tale the fluency of which is a tribute to the depth of her research.' -- Citizen, Gloucester
