A long, dull brick of a book, which can be started in the middle without missing anything. There is one interesting part in the second half: Ayla's calling as a shaman, and the difficulties of introducing the idea of men having some role in making children. Until then, it's all Stone Age tourism, and it goes, many times, like this: 1.) Ayla and Co., and a guide enter a sacred cave. 2.) Paintings are examined. 3.) Someone asks what they mean. 4.) No one knows. 5.) Someone sings The Mother's Song, which has an unfortunate resemblance in cadence to A Visit From Saint Nicholas ('Twas the Night Before Christmas).
