The triumphant finale of the hugely successful Earth's Children series.
THE LAND OF PAINTED CAVES concludes the story of Ayla, her mate Jondalar, and their little daughter, Jonayla, taking readers on a journey of discovery and adventure as Ayla struggles to find a balance between her duties as a new mother and her training to become a Zelandoni one of the Ninth Cave community's spiritual leaders and healers.
Once again, Jean Auel combines her brilliant narrative skills and appealing characters with a remarkable re-creation of the way life was lived thousands of years ago, rendering the terrain, dwelling places, longings, beliefs, creativity and daily lives of Ice Age Europeans as real to the reader as today's news.
Land of the painted caves
These books are simply the best when it comes to her powerful series of the Earth's Children.

Not the book I hoped for
I have loved Ayla and the Earths Children books since I was a teen. This book was a sad let down for me. No decent plot, too many long winded descriptions, and characters acting 'out of character'. Not what I hoped for after years of waiting. The book that was supposed to conclude the series left me with several loose ends and a dissatisfied feeling. I had hoped for so much more.
