I post this topic here because she doesn't write exaclty about paranormal, even if the protagonist of her book, Ayla, has some paranormal trait, she has visions and such.
None the less her books are very beautiful so I want to talk about them:
Earth's Children series
1. The Clan of the Cave Bear (1980)
2. The Valley of Horses (1982)
3. The Mammoth Hunters (1985)
4. The Plains of Passage (1990)
5. The Shelters of Stone (2002)
If you love Diane Gabaldon charcter Jamie, you will also love, Auel character Giondalar, a very handsome man who makes everywoman crazy.
here is a summary of the second book of the series:The story is set 35,000 years ago when two kinds of human beings, Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon, shared the Earth. Ayla (a baby cro magnon), was adopted by a group of Neanderthals. But she was too different from them, and when she reach adulthood she is cast away from the only home she has ever known, so in this second novel of the Earth's Children saga, Ayla, is sets out solo into a world far from friendly.
She is in search of others humans like herself...and in search of love.
Driven by energies she scarcely understands, she explores where the clan never dared to travel. In a hidden valley, she finds not only a herd of steppe horses, but also a unique kinship with animals as vulnerable as herself.
Still, nothing prepares her for the emotional turmoil she feels when she rescues a young man, Jondalar -- the first of the Others she has seen -- from almost certain death.
