Clan of the Cave Bear

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

Through Jean M. Auel’s magnificent storytelling, we are taken back to the dawn of modern humans, and with a girl named Ayla we are swept up in the harsh and beautiful Ice Age world they shared with the ones who called themselves the Clan of the Cave Bear.

Auel’s imagined life in prehistoric times is fascinating.  She’s created speculative fiction that’s tantalizing to consider and vicariously experience.
