New York, NY, U.S.A.: Bantam Books, 1991. (Earth's Children Ser.) Book Description: Jean M. Auel’s enthralling Earth’s Children series has become a literary phenomenon, beloved by readers around the world. In a brilliant novel as vividly authentic and entertaining as those that came before, Jean M. Auel returns us to the earliest days of humankind and to the captivating adventures of the courageous woman called Ayla. With her companion, Jondalar, Ayla sets out on her most dangerous and daring journey--away from the welcoming hearths of the Mammoth Hunters and into the unknown. Their odyssey spans a beautiful but sparsely populated and treacherous continent, the windswept grasslands of Ice Age Europe, casting the pair among strangers. Some will be intrigued by Ayla and Jondalar, with their many innovative skills, including the taming of wild horses and a wolf; others will avoid them, threatened by what they cannot understand; and some will threaten them. But Ayla, with no memory of her own people, and Jondalar, with a hunger to return to his, are impelled by their own deep drives to continue their trek across the spectacular heart of an unmapped world to find that place they can both call home..

Westminster, Maryland, U.S.A.: Bantam Dell, 1986. Riding Whinney with Jondalar, the man she loves, and followed by the mare’s colt, Ayla ventures into the land of the Mamutoi--the Mammoth Hunters. She has finally found the Others she has been seeking. Though Ayla must learn their different customs and language, she is adopted because of her remarkable hunting ability, singular healing skills, and uncanny fire-making technique. Bringing back the single pup of a lone wolf she has killed, Ayla shows the way she tames animals. She finds women friends and painful memories of the Clan she left behind, and meets Ranec, the dark-skinned, magnetic master carver of ivory, whom she cannot refuse--inciting Jondalar to a fierce jealousy that he tries to control by avoiding her. Unfamiliar with the ways of the Others, Ayla misunderstands, and thinking Jondalar no longer loves her, she turns more to Ranec. Throughout the icy winter the tension mounts, but warming weather will bring the great mammoth hunt and the mating rituals of the Summer Meeting, when Ayla must choose to remain with Ranec and the Mamutoi, or to follow Jondalar on a long journey into an unknown future..

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Popular Library, 1981. American family, October 9, 2002 Reviewer: from Fort Lee, New Jersey Falling in Place is an extraordinary book and deserves to be counted among post-WWII 20th century American classics. Hyperbole? Perhaps. But few books succeed as this book does in both capturing their era (in this case the malaise days of the late 1970s) and speaking to all ages. This is the story of how one family, no more or less dysfunctional than anyone¡¯s, manages to do just the opposite of the title, namely, fall completely apart. It is about family whose members forget they love each other --or forget how to love each other-- until it is too late. The book is a tragedy writ both large and small. In short, not even Cheever does a better job of exposing the mix of boredom, depravity, lies and heartbreaking affection behind the picket fences of suburbia.. ISBN: 0445046503.

New York, NY, U.S.A.: N A L, 1984. Out-of-Print Reviewer: Krista Schmeling from Victoria, Australia I found this to be a very rich book in story and in 'place'. Nancy Cato's telling of an Australian girl's growing up in turn of the century Australia, in city and in bush is reminiscent of Willa Cather's writing of turn of the century Midwestern pioneer life (Song of a Lark and My Antonia come to mind). Both draw you into the characters' lives with richness and tenderness. Both have strong female characters who reach out to explore life, who love nature and art , and find themselves trying to encorporate both in their lives. I recommend this book partucularly to women and girls who love nature and beautiful words and are particularly fond of dreaming. . ISBN: 0451125355. Tear on Frnt cover/tight Binding.

Bantam, 1964. Reviewer: allen from Chicago, Illinois The two Wapshot novels ("Chronicle followed by "Scandal") are John Cheever's first two novels. "The Wapshot Chronicle" follows Leander Wapshot's attempts to keep his dignity intact in spite of encroaching old age and his loss of career as a seaman. Leander's two sons, Moses and Coverly, have to make their own way in Cold War America armed with the airs and attitudes of 19th century New England WASPS; their encounters are both funny and poignant. In fact, "funny and poignant" characterizes much of Cheever's writing: he can have you chuckling at situational comedy in one instant and then ping your heart with human frailty in the next..
