The fifth novel in the Earth's Children series, Jean M. Auel's internationally bestselling reconstruction of pre-historic life, when two kinds of human beings, Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon, shared the earth. 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 tranquility; 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. Set 25,000 years in the past, yet utterly relatable today, The Shelters of Stone is an epic tale of love, identity and the struggle to survive, rich in detail of language, culture, myth and ritual. Praise for Jean M. Auel 'Beautiful, exciting, imaginative' New York Times 'A major bestseller . . . A remarkable work of imagination' Daily Express

This book is the 5th book in the Earth's Children Series and takes place after Ayla and Jondalar finally reach his home the 9th cave. I really enjoyed this book and getting to meet all of Jondalar's family as well other members of the Zelandonii. As always with the books in this series there is a bit too much detail about the area and research about the period but there is more story and focus on the people as well so it is not too much skipping in this book.

the shelters of stone
I have loved all the earth,s children series and couldn't wait for the next, but this last one what happened? I have to agree with the other reviews, repeat, repeat, repeat. and sex, ok some but it's a little to much of a hard core porn. And all the tittles, half the book was the peoples name over and over, boring!!! Please Jean go back to the original way you wrote the series, it was a great read. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings but I just wanted you to know what one of your followers in the series thought. And yes I can't wiat for the next

A Thrilling Read!
It's a continuing saga about Ayla and Jondalar who allowed their love overcome any hardships, racisim and miscommunications as they expolore what Earth Mother has to offer. It's a sequel to all those books orgianted from Clan of Clan Bear. It's beautifully written by Jean M. Auel, Dont pass up this chance!

Loved the books. My husband is in Germany and I will take them to him. I know he has read one of them and now that he knows there is a whole series, he wants to read them all.
