A review by jessicajernigan
The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel

4.0

For some reason I couldn’t define, the recent election made me want to revisit this book, which I first read about twenty years ago. Now that I’ve finished it, I think I understand why I felt pulled to read it again. I think something in my subconscious knew that I really needed a story about a brave, resilient, resourceful, brilliant woman who triumphs over a venal little man ruled by his fragile ego.
