The Plains Of Passage by Jean M. Auel

The Plains of Passage is the long-awaited fourth volume in Jean M. Auel's epic series, Earth's Children. Eagerly requested since the publication of The Mammoth Hunters in 1985, it tells the story of Ayla and Jondalar's epic journey across the windswept grasslands of Ice Age Europe. To the hunter-gatherers of the their world - who have never seen tame animals - Ayla and Jondalar appear enigmatic and frightening. The mystery surrounding the woman, who speaks with a strange accent and talks to animals with their own sounds, is heightened by her uncanny control of a large, powerful wolf. The tall. yellow-haired man who rides by her side is also held in awe, not only for the magnificent stallion he commands but also for his skill as a maker of stone tools and for the new weapon he devised that makes hunting less perilous. In the course of their cross-continental odyssey, Ayla and Jondalr encounter both savage enemies and brave friends. Together they learn that the vast and unknown world can be difficult and dangerous, but breathtakingly beautiful and enlightening as well. All their pains and pleasures bring them closer to their ultimate destination, for the orphaned Ayla and the wandering Jondalar must reach that place on earth they can call home.
