Clan of the Cave Bear (Earth’s Children, 1) by Jean M. Auel

This illustrated novel uses comics to advance the main plot.

This novel captures the feeling of a summer that lasts forever.

A nice touch in this novel is the way it handles time jumps.

A nice touch in this novel is the way it honors small gestures.

What I like is that the book is illustrated without overwhelming the text.

What stands out about this novel is its atmospheric, almost ghostly tone.
