About this deal

The Medic: She has a fair amount of medicinal knowledge, often being called on to treat injuries and ailments as part of her job. She also tends Ayla when she gives birth to her second child. I've gone out on drives, but I never was very good with a spear, and I don't seem to be much better with the thrower," Folara said. "I'll take Jonayla." The infant was now thoroughly awake, and when the young woman held out her arms for the baby, she willingly went to her aunt. A downplayed one to Marthona; although she misses him, she doesn’t dwell on his death anymore and is happy with Willomar.

The release of Land of Painted Caves was heavily promoted. More than any previous book. In Australia billboards promoted the release. The series is set in Europe during the Upper Paleolithic era, after the date of the first ceramics discovered, but before the last advance of glaciers. The books focus on the period of co-existence between Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals.Earth's Children is a series of epic [1] historical fiction (or more precisely, prehistorical fiction) novels [2] [3] written by Jean M. Auel set circa 30,000 years before the present day. There are six novels in the series. Although Auel had previously mentioned in interviews that there would be a seventh novel, [4] publicity announcements for the sixth confirmed it would be the final book in the sequence. Meaningful Name: Her name sounds a bit like Martha, which means "lady" or "mistress of the house", which is fitting for Marthona, a gracious and composed woman who was once a leader and still holds a prominent position in her society.

Love Cannot Overcome: Although she loved him, she amicably ended things with her second mate Dalanar because they couldn't reconcile their differences. Though it's never explicitly mentioned what went wrong, it's implied she found him overbearing, whilst he felt she didn't really need him around. Disabled Means Helpless: His mother acts as though he's helpless and is incredibly overprotective because he has a deformed arm, but Lanidar finds this frustrating and wants to be as independent as possible. Ayla and Jondalar persuade his mother to let him try hunting; they give Lanidar a spearthrower they invented that lets him get around the issues with his arm, allowing him to become just as good with a spear as other children his age. Outliving One's Offspring: She loses her youngest son, Thonolan, and eventually learns of his passing in The Shelters of Stone, five years later. Although she’s upset, she admits she somehow knew and accepted she wouldn’t ever see him again, so she’s able to cope with it. Trade Master of the Zelandonii is a title bestowed upon the lead trader of the Zelandonii (during the main events of the series, Willomar holds this title).

Massive Numbered Siblings: She has six living children. She neglects all of them, forcing her eldest daughter Lanoga to step in as a parent. She has given birth to seven children in all, but her fifth child died in infancy. Karma Houdini: Zig-zagged. She ends up moving away from the Ninth Cave and marrying some random guy she met at the Summer Meeting. But, it's implied she did this because she realises that no one in the Ninth Cave really likes her, and that Jondalar, even though he was willing to sleep with her, doesn't actually care about her and isn’t interested in rekindling their relationship. Do Not Call Me "Paul": He gets annoyed when people call him by his old name, Ladroman, not Madroman. This is justified when one considers that referring to a zelandoni, even one in training, by their pre-zelandoni name is considered not only inappropriate, but disrespectful. The Apprentice: In The Shelters of Stone and for most of The Land of Painted Caves, he's training to become a zelandoni. Auel hints at another adversary early on with the reintroduction of Jondalar’s conniving ex, Marona, yet we don’t hear from her again until the end of the second act, which is where Auel shifts gears and the action begins.
