The Clan of the Cave Bear
by Jean M. Auel
Buy on AmazonI’ve been interested for a long time in archeology and anthropology, and this novel about life in prehistoric times is a rich blend of imagination and information about everything from plants that were used for medicine to the rituals and taboos of Neanderthal man. It is also about Ayla, a little girl who is orphaned when her parents are killed in an earthquake. Maybe because I’m a mother, I was very moved by the story of her survival and growing up.
