Summary
Ayla and Jondalar leave the safety of the lands of the Mammoth Hunters and embark on a seemingly impossible journey across an entire continent. Their goal is the Cro-Magnon settlement in what is now southern France where Jondalar lived as a young man. Accompanied by the half-tame Wolf, the superb stallion, Racer, and the mare, Whinney, they brave both savage enemies and the elemental dangers of weather and terrain in their search for the place that will become Home.
Jean Auel's imaginative reconstruction of pre-historic life, rich in detail of language, culture, myth and ritual, has become a set text in schools and colleges around the world.

Getting a bit repetitive!
After listening with such pleasure to all these books,(I still have 1 to go) I'm finding the love scenes too repetitive, and some of the landscapes repetitive also. To the point that I run the book forward at times, and am not as keen to start the next one. Such a shame because I think the stories are brilliant and wonderfully descriptive. Just feel they are being padded out to justify another book!

Repetitive
I’ve been enjoying these books, but they are getting rather repetitive now. If you’re this far into the series, chances are you know about her upbringing, we don’t need reminding all the time. Also, can’t believe I’m saying this, but even the sex is getting in my nerves now! Will finish the series out of curiosity, but I feel like the quality has gone down with each book.

Enthralling and exciting
Much better storylines than 'Mammoth Hunters'. Loved the glacier section. Would make a good film. Who could take the parts I wonder...

Good, but not her best.
I loved the first two books in this series. This one is a good story, but padded out with too much description and repetition. Some is enjoyable and sometimes necessary, but not to the extent in this story. Also the rather too frequent description of sexual experiences add nothing to the story and leave nothing to the imagination.

the saga of the Iceage
this 4th book in the series about Ayla contains unnecessary repetitions of the sexual act. The tale and the research of the conditions of the era is well written and there is nothing like it edited . I am rereading the series about 20 years after it"s first edition and I think it has a lot to tell us about the human condition and the social complications of being a foreigner.I warmly recommend the series even if this book could be much shortter
