If only Auel didn’t have Ayla tell and re-tell the same stories every time she meets a new character – stories that readers of the series have already “seen” happen and heard retold in the previous book – it would be much more bearable. Jean Auel’s greatest achievement is to have created a plausible primeval community where men and women love and sometimes hate, and learn shelterw survive in a harsh environment that demands rules and co-operation.

You have the fact that Ayla has to win the approval of Jondalar’s mother, who as a former leader we would expect to be a very strong and experienced woman, as well as Jondalar’s elder half-brother Joharran who as leader of the tribe would have the final say about Ayla being adopted into the Zelandonii.
