Ayla is on her own, figuring out fire and animal domestication. And the pre-historic Casanova known as Jondolar is slowly making his way to her. Boom-chicka-bow-wow ensues. 😂
Not sure there's much else to say. Auel's very convenient way of getting Ayla to remember speech was rather contrived, but I was able to roll with it for the sake of the story. It was cool to see Ayla figuring out how to live on her own, even if she was lonely, and how she adapted. Jondolar and his brother's journey along the Danube and the tribes of peoples they meet along the way was interesting too. Just not very much of a plot, overall.
