The Clan of the Cave Bear, Jean M Auel

The Clan of the Cave Bear is a book that I read when I was seven.
It is about Ayla, a girl who has lost his family in an earthquake during the neardenthales and Cro-Magnon times.
A Clan of Cro-Magnons takes care of her. Iza, the healer of the clan, who is preagnant, takes Ayla to her «place» next to the fire and teaches her how to use and find food and medicines. Creb, the mog-ur(something like a saint, a person who is holy and has the highest social position in the tribe) helps them. Ayla always feels different from the other people of the Clan of the Cave Bear, because she is part of the Neardenthales instead of Cro-Magnons.
I really like this book, Ayla is a really good main character, the way she thinks about their society and their strange habits. She was five when she entered the clan so she had to change all her hapits. I prefer the second book, when Jondolar starts to teach Ayla about the Neardenthales’ behaviour.
