Earth's Children, Fiction, Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945), Historical adventure
The first episode of Jean M. Auel's publishing phenomenon will excite and prepare reader's for the long-awaited sixth and final book, The Land of Painted Caves.
Leave 21st century London and go back to Ice Age Europe. Follow Ayla, a Cro-Magnon child who loses her parents in an earthquake and is adopted by a tribe of Neanderthal, the Clan.
See how the Clan's wary suspicion is gradually transformed into acceptance of this girl, so different from them, under the guidance of its medicine woman Iza and its wise holy man Creb. Immerse yourself in a world dictated by the demands of survival in a hostile environment, and be swept away in an epic tale of love, identity and struggle.
