Reviews
"Among modern epic spinners, [Jean M.] Auel has few peers. . . . 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." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "[Ayla] remains plucky, inquisitive, inventive, brave, loyal. . . . There is real sweetness in the saga's finale, when Ayla's legacy to the world--both hers and ours--is made clear." --The Washington Post "[Auel builds] her characters up to legendary proportions throughout The Land of Painted Caves . . . . [Ayla's] journey has engrossed fans and turned the series into a bestselling phenomenon."-- Los Angeles Times "Prehistory comes to astounding life. . . . [Jean M.] Auel's descriptive powers are top-notch." --USA Today, "Among modern epic spinners, [Jean M.] Auel has few peers. . . . 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." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "[Ayla] remains plucky, inquisitive, inventive, brave, loyal. . . .

[Jean M.] Auel's descriptive powers are top-notch." -USA Today, "[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. And readers who fell in love with little Ayla will no doubt revel in her prehistoric womanhood."-- People "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 "[T]he book is compelling and will be in high demand by Auel's fans."-- Library Journal

Synopsis
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In this, the extraordinary conclusion of the ice-age epic series, Earth's Children(R), Ayla, Jondalar, and their infant daughter, Jonayla, are living with the Zelandonii in the Ninth Cave. Ayla has been chosen as an acolyte to a spiritual leader and begins arduous training tasks. Whatever obstacles she faces, Ayla finds inventive ways to lessen the difficulties of daily life, searching for wild edibles to make meals and experimenting with techniques to ease the long journeys the Zelandonii must take while honing her skills as a healer and a leader. And there are the Sacred Caves that Ayla's mentor takes her to see. They are filled with remarkable paintings of mammoths, lions, and bears, and their mystical aura at times overwhelms Ayla. But all the time Ayla has spent in training rituals has caused Jondalar to drift away from her. The rituals themselves bring her close to death, but through them Ayla gains A Gift of Knowledge so important that it will change her world.
