This thrilling saga about a cruel and beautiful ancient world made its author, Jean M. Auel, world-famous and became one of the most read literary works of our time. The books included in the "Children of the Earth" series were published in many millions of copies in countries around the world.
Eyla and Jondalar travel across Europe. They find themselves in lands of mammoth hunters, and Eyla finally meets the Other People she’s been searching for so long. She is accepted into the tribe because the young woman has invaluable qualities: she is a superb hunter and healer, and she knows how to make fire using marvelous stones. Eyla finds friends here and leaves behind the мучительные memories of life in her clan. One of her new relatives, a dark-skinned Ranek, doesn’t hide that Eyla really attracts him, and she doesn’t reject his courtship. Jondalar’s sudden jealousy frightens Eyla. Unfamiliar with the customs of the Others, she becomes confused, and it seems to her that Jondalar no longer loves her. And ahead of them lies a long winter, during which Eyla must sort out her feelings and make a choice.
