I should begin by saying that I have read every single one of Tracy Chevalier's novels. I think she is one of the most literary contemporary authors, and that the way she uses language is absolutely beautiful.
"Remarkable Creatures" is her newest novel. It is historical fiction based on the lives of friends Mary Anning and Elizabeth Philpot. These two women led quiet lives, but they made huge contributions to natural history and science through their discoveries of fossils. It is an interesting bit of history that I personally was not previously familiar with. This novel is not Chevalier's most captivating, but it is still a well-written and interesting read.

Hi Keri,
ReplyDeleteMy name is also Keri Chevalier. It's weird enough to find someone with the same name, but to have it spelled the same is really unusual. After all, the way Keri is spelled isn't common at all. Nice to meet you.
