Description: The Plains of PassageISBN-13: 9780517580493ISBN-10: 0517580497Author: Jean M. AuelEdition: 1Binding: HardcoverPublisher: CrownPublished: 1990-09-24 The long-awaited fourth installment ofthe Earth's Children series is as warm and inviting as its campfire milieu. Sure fire bestseller, Auel again describes her characters' travails, apassionate interest of millions of readers, in impeccably researched detail.The continuous recitation of flora and fauna, coupled with flashbacks to eventsin the previous books, becomes somewhat tiresome, however. (Would that our"memory" were as instinctual as that of the Clan.) The saga continuesthe cross-continental journey of Ayla, her mate Jondalar and their menagerie tohis homeland. En route, they encounter a variety of problems, yet manage tofind panaceas for each. Their enlightened compilation of skills, inventions,therapies and recipes transforms the voyagers into spirit-like personasproviding The Others with constant awe. A brief encounter with the NeanderthalClan rekindles the unique charm of the first (and strongest) book. Suchlocutions as "out of the cooking skin into the coals" or "Mother'spath of milk" for the Milky Way are coyly anachronistic. Nonetheless, thisvolume is as welcome as letters from a long-lost friend.
