For the millions of Jean Auel fans who have waited 12 years, for the new fans who have discovered the series in the meantime, and for everyone who loves superlative storytelling, the arrival of The Shelters of Stone is an unprecedented event. Beginning in 1980 with The Clan of the Cave Bear, Jean Auel's Earth's Children "RM" books have each sold more than 5 million copies in the U.S. and Canada alone. They have been translated into 29 foreign languages and have sold 34 million copies worldwide.
Now, the phenomenon continues and fans old and new will find that The Shelters of Stone more than matches the anticipation. Jean Auel's superbly textured evocation of life in Ice Age Europe, and of Ayla and Jondalar's continuing struggle to live and love in a young and dangerous world, is as richly detailed as ever. And the story is so engrossing, it will easily stand on its own for readers who are new to the series.
Reflecting Jean Auel's meticulous research, filled with vivid and unforgettable characters, and propelled by a sweeping narrative that will carry readers along to the final page, The Shelters of Stone is here at last.
