We briefly meet some cavemen criminals, but it is handled so fast and is such random part of the story that it might as well have been left out. But really, what is the plot here? Where are we going with this? At the end of the book there is an attempt at a romantic twist that is once again but a weak echo of something that happened in one of the previous books. I do not mind listening to Auel describing them going about their business and doing everyday things like drinking herb tea and weaving baskets, in fact I quite like it. If you buy this be prepared listen to a dreary amount of ?mother songs?, explanations of what happened in previous books and descriptions of cave paintings. And just like an echo it repeats itself over and over again. This book is but a weak echo of the previous books. Repetitious, tedious and quite disappointing.
