No :((3. The line I had really hoped this book would not cross. Is nothing sacred? Can I not simply read a nice book about a girl having fun?

I saw this coming from so early in the book and yet I'm so angry that it's happening. Why is Auel writing this? Why does she create this world in this way?
Over my dead body will this become in any shape or form a love story. The only acceptable ending to this book will be a loose stone and Broud's limp body.

As a vegetarian animal conservationist whose worst nightmare would be killing an animal, I'm not sure how I'm meant to be interpreting this protracted animal slaying plotline... I feel sickened and put-out by it. Are we meant to be celebrating?? Between this and the horrific misogyny, this is far from a pleasant read...
