Publisher's Summary
In The Valley of Horses, Ayla, the unforgettable heroine of The Clan of the Cave Bear, sets out on her own odyssey of discovery away from the nurturing adoptive family and friends of the Clan. She is in search of others like herself and in search of love.
Sharing a hidden valley with a herd of steppe horses, Ayla finds a unique friendship with animals as vulnerable as herself and ingeniously discovers the complex skills needed to survive - skills no Clan member was ever able to master.
But none of her experiences prepares her for the emotional turmoil she feels when she rescues a young man - the first of the Others she has seen - from almost certain death.
Torn between her desire for human companionship and her fear of the unknown Others, she struggles against her deep attraction to the handsome Jondalar. It is Jondalar who teaches her the meaning of true friendship and love.

Story
After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen—Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss.

Their affair persists through decades of war, adultery, murder, loneliness, and redemption.

Awesome
I have read the entire series many times and it is one of my all time favrorites. We were on a camping holiday to visit family in another Province and for a lot of the drive there was no radio or cell service. On the way back we decided that we were tired of our CD collection. So, at one of our overnight stops we started talking about audio books. We found Audible and looked for some of our favorite titles. We decided on the Earth's Children series as we both love the books and the woman reading is great. We are now on to The Mammoth Hunters and we have only had the membership for just over a month. It is amazing how much you do not pick up on when you read a book as opposed to having it read to you. We will keep going until this series is finished and then move on to another series.

A fine sequel.
Valley of Horses and Clan of the Cave Bear are the two best books in the series, in my opinion. I found the others very repetitive but this story is still unique. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I love this whole series!!
I have read and now listened to this whole series very many times. I've cried, laughed, learned herbal medicine, and so many other things.
the author did her research on everything. anything and everything you read is something you can actually do in real person.

A beautiful story about love
This is a beautiful written story about love and the challenges of partnerships. I very much enjoy listening to the story the way its told by the originator's inflexions.

Excellent historical adventure/romance
This is a great example of historical fiction that draws you in and keeps you engaged. The characters are so alive with great personalities complete with strengths and foibles. The narrative provides information on the time period, scenery, insights into the two main character’s emotions, insecurities, and motivations. The storyline flows smoothly and quickly filled with twists and turns, action, romance and emotional drama. This is a wonderful series.
