The Land of Painted Caves/Jean Auel/1248p(LP)



I read the previous five books, but I wouldn't call myself a "fan" of the Earth's Children series. This book in a word: under-edited. There is much to endure, such as lengthy discussions of medicinal plants and teas and their properties, painstaking descriptions of cave paintings, and as a bonus...how to skin a wolverine, omitting no detail. Our heroine, Ayla, is undoubtedly the most inventive woman who ever lived, and her mate, Jondalar, the most handsome and caring man. It was all a bit much. Didn't enjoy this.
