The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel
DID NOT FINISH: 29%

God the stream of consciousness just went on and on and on. 
I know the author is naming modern day flora and fauna, but I don’t think neanderthal people had those names and knew what they were. 
I read a synopsis of what happens next and god does it get bleak and fucked up. 
Ayla uses weapons & gets in trouble; she’s raped by the leaders son; happy that she’s pregnant; I’m assuming Issa dies from consumption; after Creb dies Ayla’s baby is taken away and she’s kicked out of the clan; it ends just like the story began - Ayla completely alone. 
Nope, cannot sit through another 16 hours of this story.
