Series: Earth's Children

Jean M. Auel’s enthralling Earth’s Children® series has become a literary phenomenon,

beloved by readers around the world.

In a brilliant novel as vividly authentic and

entertaining as those that came before, Jean M. Auel returns us to the earliest days

of humankind and to the captivating adventures of the courageous woman called Ayla.

With her companion, Jondalar, Ayla sets out on her most dangerous and daring journey--away

from the welcoming hearths of The Mammoth Hunters and into the unknown.

Their odyssey

spans a beautiful but sparsely populated and treacherous continent, the windswept

grasslands of Ice Age Europe, casting the pair among strangers.

Some will be intrigued

by Ayla and Jondalar, with their many innovative skills, including the taming of

wild horses and a wolf; others will avoid them, threatened by what they cannot understand;

and some will threaten them. But Ayla, with no memory of her own people, and Jondalar,

with a hunger to return to his, are impelled by their own deep drives to continue

their trek across the spectacular heart of an unmapped world to find that place they

can both call home.

Reviews for Plains of Passage (#4 Earths Children)

Pure entertainment at its sublime, wholly exhilarating, best... Auel, a superb raconteur, has crafted a consistently engaging adventure story with a solid historical underpinning. -- Los Angeles Times Thrilling... This magical book is rich in details of all kinds... but it it the depth of the characters' emotional lives... that gives the novel such a stranglehold. -- Cosmopolitan Gripping. -- Boston Sunday Herald
