The Land of Painted Caves
by Jean M. Auel
The Land of Painted Caves is the sixth book, and epic conclusion to the Earth's Children Series by Jean M. Auel. reading this book every time I visit is always such a bittersweet experience- on one hand I am excited to read more of the superb series and yet I know it is the conclusion to the story, which leaves me a little sad. As with the other books before it, this is a continuation of the story which was started back in The Clan of the Cave Bear. I really recommend reading all the books in their correct sequence to get the most enjoyment possible from your reading experience. There is a lot of character information and backstory that is contained in the other books, which will all help to build a picture of the world in which this story is set as well as setting the mood, tone and feel for the series as a whole.
This Is another trip down memory lane for me. I have lost track of how many times I have read this series over the years. It is one I have recommended to so many people, and even gifting the series to many of my book-loving friends- who have also loved them.
This is the first ‘grown-up’ book/series that I read all those years ago, as a teenager. I was completely captivated by Ayla and her fascinating story, as I am every time I visit.
Ms. Auel’s world building skills are par none. The scenes are described in such exquisite detail that I am transported into the story- and watch, spellbound, as everything unfolds.
The characters are unique, fully realised individuals who have a powerful presence on the page. They are entirely realistic and truly believable. This story paints a very vivid picture and I am not so much reading, but ‘seeing’ Ayla’s world.
This is one of my all-time favourite reads! And it doesn’t matter how many times I read it, it always captures my imagination and pulls me into the pages. I will never tire of this breathtaking book/series. It will stand the test of time due to the wonderful storyline, the compelling writing, and the strong endearing characters whose growth and development throughout the entire book and series is just amazing.
Kudos Ms. Auel!
