Critics Review
She does have a most extraordinary talent for recreating lost worlds
Jean Auel’s amazing, ground-breaking series reaches a stunning conclusion… . . If you ever wondered what it was like for the first reasoning humans, this is the perfect way to learn. It’s as though Auel has opened up a time portal, travelled with and lived with actual human beings as they begin their journey towards the people we are today. Moving and majestic, this story sweeps all before it and encompasses everything we know about our ancestors as they trek through central Europe and set up home in the caves there. All life is here in all its glory, the loves, the jealousy, the rivalry, the medicines … A compelling historical drama with every modern trait of the human being, but set in the days when the world was young. Magnificent, and a privilege to be able to read it. You must read this. - Books Monthly
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 ReviewsIncredibly poignant and relevant to today - Sun 4 starsShe does have a most extraordinary talent for recreating lost worlds - Kate Saunders, Books QuarterlyJean M.
