Set around 30,000 years ago the books follow the adventures of a young girl who is adopted by Neanderthals and traces in her meetings with other homo sapiens the contrasts between the two branches of mankind. We follow her journeys up the Danube, across the Alps and the Massif Central to the Dordogne. Each book is full of inspired and informed guesses of the way of life during the ice age. Pick up The Clan of the Cave Bear and you will find you have to continue the story that brings pre-history to life.
