One of the best books of the year, following great success in hardback, from bestselling and much-loved novelist Tracy Chevalier. In the early nineteenth century, a windswept beach along the English coast brims with fossils for those with the eye… From the moment she’s struck by lightning as a baby, it is clear Mary Anning is marked for greatness. When she uncovers unknown dinosaur fossils in the cliffs near her home, she sets the scientific world alight, challenging ideas about the world’s creation and stimulating debate over our origins. In an arena dominated by men, however, Mary is soon reduced to a serving role, facing prejudice from the academic community, vicious gossip from neighbours, and the heartbreak of forbidden love. Even nature is a threat, throwing bitter cold, storms, and landslips at her. Luckily Mary finds an unlikely champion in prickly, intelligent Elizabeth Philpot, a middle-class spinster who is also fossil-obsessed. Their relationship strikes a delicate balance between fierce loyalty and barely suppressed envy. Despite their differences in age and background, Mary and Elizabeth discover that, in struggling for recognition, friendship is their strongest weapon. Remarkable Creatures is Tracy Chevalier’s stunning new novel of how one woman’s gift transcends class and gender to lead to some of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century. Above all, it is a revealing portrait of the intricate and resilient nature of female friendship.

蓝天白云海岸勾勒出一幅落寞而美丽的画,素颜裙摆飘扬的红丝带点缀其中,烘托出两个女子若即若离的背影。《与化石打交道的女孩》就这样跃然跳入我的眼中。它素雅清爽的外表让我暂时忘记了仲夏的闷热,一股清凉沁入心脾,犹如海风拂面。 这是我看特蕾西•雪佛兰的第二本书。第...
评分我就不必多费笔墨形容了,大家自己看看书名《与化石打交道的女孩》,再看看让人无可回避的封面图,两个看似同龄的女子面朝大海,背对我们。即便作者是大名鼎鼎的特蕾西雪佛兰,尽管有《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》珠玉在前,尽管特蕾西雪佛兰素来以为重现严肃历史题材著称,我们仍不免...
