Annotation
Sequel to The Clan of the Cave Bear. Auel again uses her powerful storytelling style to sweep us away into a prehistoric world recreated as it truly might have been. In The Valley of Horses, Jean Auel continues the saga of Ayla and once again, with exquisite and accurate detail, re-creates the world as it might have been.
This sequel recounts Ayla's three years of solitude in a cave after being pronounced 'dead' bythe Neanderthal clan who had raised the Cro-Magnon girl as their own. Her story alternates with that of Jondalar, a handsome young man of immense sex appeal who is journeying with his brother because he can't seem to find himself.
From the Publisher
Here is an unforgettable odyssey into a world of awesome mysteries, into a distant past made vividly real, a novel that carries us back to the exotic, primeval world we experienced in The Clan Of The Cave Bear — and to beautiful Ayla, the bold woman who captivates us with her fierce courage and questing heart. Cruelly cast out by the ancient Clan that adopted her as a child, Ayla now travels alone in a land of glacial cold and terrifying beasts. She is searching for the Others, a race as tall, blond, and blue-eyed as she. But Ayla finds only a hidden valley, where a herd of hardy steppe horses roams. Here, she is granted a unique kinship with animals, enabling her to learn the secrets of fire and raw survival — but still, her need for human companionship and love remains unfulfilled. then fate brings her a stranger, handsome Jondolar, and Ayla is torn between fear and hope — and carried to an awakening of desire that would shape the future of mankind.
"Shiningly intense... Sheer storytelling skill holds the reader in a powerful
