![]() It is thus on the beaches of Lyme Regis, that Elizabeth who is of an inquisitive bent comes to meet Mary Anning, an avid fossil hunter. Lyme Regis is special because on it’s beaches are found bits of fossils, known as “curies” (or curiosities). The three move to the coastal city of Lyme Regis when their brother marries. The book is centered around Elizabeth Philpot, one of three sisters who have resigned themselves to the single life, because in the 1800s (the period this book is set in), without a fortune and good looks, a husband is hard to come by. ![]() ![]() I haven’t read this author’s previous novel “Girl with a pearl earring”, but when I came across a review of this book, I knew I wanted to read it. Sound interesting ? Well, it should, because like it’s title “Remarkable creatures” this book is pretty remarkable too. ![]()
