Reviews"As with her other books, Auel spins her tale with credible dialogue, believable situations and considerable drama. More than that, she deftly creates a whole world, giving a sense of the origins of class, ethnic and cultural differences that alternately divide and fascinate us today. Among modern epic spinners, Auel has few peers."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred) "[T]he millions of readers who have been with Ayla from the start will want to once again lose themselves in the rich prehistoric world Auel conjures and see how this internationally beloved series concludes."-- Booklist "[R]eaders who enjoyed the previous volumes will relish the opportunity to re-enter pre-history one last time."-- Publishers Weekly, "[R]eaders who enjoyed the previous volumes will relish the opportunity to re-enter pre-history one last time."-- Publishers Weekly, "[T]here is real sweetness in the saga's finale, when Ayla's legacy to the world -- both hers and ours -- is made clear. Myriad things have changed in the last 30,000 years, but the endurance of human love is not one of them."-- Washington Post "[Auel] does paint a convincing portrait of ancient life.

  • The title refers to where these prehistoric people lived.

    This series of books “Earth’s Children” is excellent and has been read by thousands of people with good reviews. Jean Auel has a wide following. I read five of the books so far and this is the sixth and the last one. I wish there was a seventh.

  • Enjoyed it greatly!!

    She tried to make it able to stand alone. Since I have read the ones before it multiple times, I kinda skimmed over a few parts.. Still loved the book, hard to put it down !!!

  • So glad to have the entire "Earth's children" series in hardback.

    Have followed this series for years, since Clan of the Cave Bear (the first book) came out. Since there is always a significant span of time between books I would always go back to the beginning and read "up to" the new book. I'm doing that now - almost finished with the third book, "The Mammoth Hunters" and will pursue the rest this summer. Getting this very desired book, in excellent condition, by the way, for $4.99 was so very much appreciated!
