Remarkable Creatures By Tracy Chevalier
This book opens with lightning striking the heroine. Perhaps that is why she is so different from other women. Fossils on the beach near the poor girls home support her family. When her father dies, she takes over the business and soon shows she has an "eye" for spotting them. When she finds something completely different than ever seen before...the world beats a path to her door. Mary Anning shares her facination with Elizabeth Philpot, a middle class spinster. I found myself irresistably drawn into her world, through intrigue, betrayal, vindication and all points in between! If you like historical fiction, based on facts, you will love this book! If you have never tried it, this should be the first one you read!
