The Plains of Passage by Jean M. Auel

adventurous emotional informative slow-paced

3.0

At this point in the series, it really was getting ridiculous how many of the crucial advancements to humanity Ayla and Jondolar were responsible for discovering and spreading across Europe. Again, no real plot here so this serves as more of a travelogue back up the Danube to what we currently call France. We see some of the same tribes as from book 2, but meet others along the way, and there's some messed up crap going on here and there, and some more early human inventions to discover, like soap. 

The big tension here though is they're getting closer and closer to Jondolar's people, who Jondolar has said won't accept her if they find out who raised her. And then I had to wait eight years to find out what happened next. 🤣
