V dalším díle úspěšného cyklu znovu vstupujeme do hlubin minulosti a sledujeme osudy kromaňonské dívky Ajly. Ta opouští údolí koní a vydává se s Jondalarem, prvním člověkem, který přeruší její osamělý život, na dlouhou pouť. Setkají se s Mamutony - lovci mamutů žijícími už ne v jeskyních, ale v pohodlnějších chýších, a seznamují se s jejich odlišnou civilizací. Jejich hostitelé naopak obdivují Ajlinu krásu, odvahu, léčitelské umění i její koně, s nimiž tak dovede zacházet. Ajla je v novém domově šťastna, ale přítel Jondalar by se rád vrátil domů. Jejich láska prochází tvrdou zkouškou, když se o Ajlu začne ucházet jiný muž, Ranek.

Nesta parte temos o desfecho do triângulo amoroso iniciado no primeiro volume. Inicialmente fiquei um bocado "preocupada" com o final mas depois terminou como deveria ser.
Não creio ser necessário acrescentar grande coisa ao que já foi dito no primeiro volume pois neste continuamos a assistir ao quão a Ayla é "perfeita" e o quão toda a gente estaria à espera de a conhecer a vida toda e etc.etc. Acho que a autora peca um pouco por toda esta perfeição da Ayla. Ainda assim, não deixou de criar uma mulher extremamente forte e determinada, o que acaba por nos aproximar e fazer gostar muito da protagonista.
As descrições históricas continuam a ser uma vertente importante nesta obra e as vivências destes seres humanos "especializados" na caça aos mamutes é deveras interessante. Além disso, a autora coloca em paralelo as várias sociedades humanas e as suas dissemelhanças e similitudes o que é bastante apelativo para a continuidade da leitura. Além disso, é interessante ver o quão estes seres humanos cooperavam entre si por questões de sobrevivência e que determinados aspectos decadentes das sociedades actuais começavam a despoletar na época mas seriam casos pontuais.

I first read this back in 1983. Fell in love with the book and how the author had researched the times made it interesting.

I have found that Jean Auel has been instrumental in helping me to appreciate the pre-history that pre dated our Native American tribes. His fiction based on archaeological findings is presented in such a way that you never know you are learning something very important. All of Jean's books are that way and I value every one. I have tried to read every one of Jean's books and have come away with a better knowledge of history and pre history than I ever learned in school with little or no pain of boredom whatsoever. I only wish to emulate Jean's excellent style in my own books. Kitty Sutton
