Book Reviews of Shelters of Stone (Earths Children 5)
Book Review: Island girl
Summary: 5 Stars
I appreciate all the amazing research that has gone into this series of books and how they bring to light that there was more than one species of hominid living on earth in the early days. I am very pleased that these books are not only entertaining (many such discussions are so dry they are BORING) but that they bring to everyman that once Homo Sapiens Sapiens appeared on earth they are us-not just like us but US. Ayla gets to be a bit monotonous as superwoman except that Auel makes her somewhat psychic. I did get bored with the endless descriptions of sex-you do your things and we'll do ours and let's not compare notes. Sex isn't a competition however it was an integral part of the story in some places, otherwise ... I was also pleased that these books show early humans as intelligent. I just wish she'd get her next book to the publisher. Get it in gear girl!
Summary of Shelters of Stone (Earths Children 5)
Ayla and Jondalar have reached home: the Ninth Cave of the Zelandonii, the old stone age settlement in the region known today as south-west France. Ayla has much to learn from the Zelandonii as well as much to teach them. Jondalar's family are initially wary of the beautiful young woman he has brought back, with her strange accent and her tame wolf and horses. She is delighted when she meets Zelandoni, the spiritual leader of her people, a fellow healer with whom she can share her medicinal skills. After the rigours and dangers that have characterised her extraordinary life, Ayla yearns for peace and tranquillity; to be Jondalar's mate and to have children. But her unique spiritual gifts cannot be ignored, and even as she gives birth to their eagerly-awaited child, she is coming to accept that she has a greater role to play in the destiny of the Zelandonii.Historical Books
