so-soThis was the bestselling book in the U.S. for 1990. It's vol. 4 in Auel's "Earth's Children" series featuring Ayla, an early human raised by Neanderthals. In this one, Ayla and her lover cross Europe in a sort of prehistoric road trip, with lengthy descriptions of flora, fauna, climate, geology, and anthropology. Fine with me, since for me scene-setting is the series' strength. I'm less a fan of the characters, dialog, and relationship drama.
Cuarto volumen de la saga Los Hijos de la Tierra. Narra la difícil travesía de Ayla, su compañero y su peculiar familia hacia el hogar de éste. Muchas dudas surgen que la inclemencia del glacial incrementan.
Hay recuerdos de las tres historias previas así que cualquiera no haya leído los libros anteriores no tendrá problemas con la historia.
While continuing to go through my late father's house, I came across some of my late mother's favorite books still on the shelves.
I joined her as a fan of this series many years ago, as a teenager, but I never finished it. The sixth book came out the year after my mother passed, and it felt unfair to read it when she never got to.
That was 12 years ago now. Maybe this year I'll finally pick it up.
pickFinished this off on a road trip. I‘m really (still) enjoying the story of Ayla and Jondalar. Miles and miles of travel sounds monotonous, but the characters and their relationship carry the story. 3/5 👣s
The cleaner of the local shopping centre walked past when myself & another lady were checking out the books at the book swap. He said that there were plenty more out the back. She asked if we could take a look. Thanks random stranger. The fabric underneath the books is an environmentally friendly Australian brand called Gather and Moss that I can highly recommend for beautiful pillow cases, jumpers, shirts & pjs with a native flora & fauna theme.

(1) The Plains of Passage, because the Earth's Children series started out so promising, but by this installment, it lost its steam and became a lengthy borefest

I think I have a case of #BookSwapFever LOL
Has anyone read any of these? 😃
pickI have finally finished this one. I really enjoyed it, just difficulty focusing. This is the fifth book in the series. I have been reflecting on what I have learned for Ayla, the main character. Strength, patience, kindness, love, ingenuity, important of being a life long learner, spirituality. But most I feel that she has taught me that tolerance and respect for other cultures is true humanity. We have a lot to learn from one another!
We finally got the deck furniture out and now I am reading with the pups. Little things can really raise your spirits! #keeplitsypositive #quaranread #dogsoflitsy

pickI am really enjoying this series and the characters that Auel has created, however, this one was way too long and too full of information about the animals, land and time frame. There were pages upon pages that read like an encyclopaedia instead of a novel and I ended up skipping forward to avoid the large sections that were information and not story. The story itself is still great and I've already started the next in the series.

pickSometimes you need to go back to a book that means something to you. This can be a feeling, a memory, emotions, take your pick. For me it also means reading in my own language and reading this series which was gifted to me after my aunt died. It holds so many fond memories.
