A voyage of breakthrough, two amazing women, and an extraordinary time and place enrich bestselling publisher Tracy Chevalier's new book.
On the windswept, fossil-strewn beaches of the British coast, poor and uneducated Mary Anning discovers that she's a unique surprise: "the eye" to identify fossils no-one else can easily see. When she uncovers an unusual fossilized skeleton in the cliffs near her home, she packages the religious community on edge, the townspeople to gossip, and the medical world alight. After long lasting bitter cold, thunderstorms, and landslips, her issues only develop when she falls in love with an impossible man.
Mary soon finds an unlikely champ in prickly Elizabeth Philpot, a middle-class spinster who stocks her passion for scouring the beaches. Their romantic relationship strikes a sensitive balance between brutal loyalty, mutual appreciation, and barely suppressed envy, but in the end turns out to be their greatest property.
