I don’t remember there ever being a time when I weren’t out upon beach. Mam used to say the window was open when I was born, and the first thing I saw when they held me up was the sea.

Mary Anning may be young and uneducated, but she has “the eye”. Scouring the windswept Jurassic coast near Lyme Regis, she find the fossils nobody else can, making discoveries that will shake the scientific world of the early 19th century. But science is a male-dominated arena, and there are many who disapprove…

She finds an unlikely champion in prickly Elizabeth Philpot: unmarried, middle-aged and middle class, and a fellow fossil enthusiast. If they can weather differences in their age and standing, and overcome professional envy, will true friendship prove the rarest find of all?

I loved the book. It is a beautiful story about two strong women in difficult times. I loved the language, it brings the setting and the characters to life. The smooth voice adds beautifully to the whole experience. I was sad when the book was over. It leaves a lasting impression.

A beautiful story

I found the story quietly intense yet gripping, although I'm not really interested in fossils. The narration is also excellent.

Intense story, even if you're not into fossils
