I am really not much of a Tracy Chevalier fan. I cannot really pinpoint what it is about her books that do not excite me in the least. In this one, some of the characters are ok but aren't really fully developed. There is just enough information to get an idea about them but not enough to really care about them. The scene at the end with Elizabeth and Mary hugging and crying caused a giant eye roll. boring.

Very cool concept but the book just didn't manage to pull me in. I'm nearly 50% in and I just don't feel like picking it up again. DNFing to move on to other books.

The story of Mary Anning and Elizabeth Philpot can bring a reader to tears and just as quickly to laughter. It is uplifting to read of women pushing the boundaries of religion to learn more of the world. Through many obstacles they find the true beauty of the world. A life full of mystery with something new to discover each day.
