Two tribes meld in Wolf's fable of Ice Age Europe, which is likely to evoke comparisons with Jean Auel's Earth Children series. A Literary Guild selection in cloth.

From Library Journal
With Daughter of the Red Deer , Wolf moves into Jean Auel territory to tell a story of the prehistoric tribes who created the magnificent cave paintings at Lascaux. The patriarchal Tribe of the Horse has lost most of its women in a tragic accident. To preserve the tribe, they capture 16 girls from the matriarchal Tribe of the Red Deer, including the priestess's daughter Alin. The resulting clash of cultures sets in motion a tightly constructed, fast-moving plot, which is made even more compelling by the growth the main characters experience as they learn from one another. Wolf's writing isn't as dense with research as Auel's, but her stirring plot and a compelling love story compensate for less detailed background. A satisfying read; highly recommended. Literary Guild selection; serial rights to Good Housekeeping .
