Zwei bemerkenswerte Frauen

An impressive novel about two adventurous women, a wonderful friendship, and the fascinating world of fossils.

Since Mary was struck by lightning as a baby, it has been clear that she is destined for greatness. And indeed: No one finds such spectacular fossils on the beach of the small town of Lyme as Mary does. One day, she makes an amazing discovery, but in the male-dominated world of the 19th century, no one pays her any attention. Fortunately, she finds an ally in Elizabeth, a young woman from a better background who had to move from London to the countryside. Their friendship soon becomes her most important support—until Mary and Elizabeth fall in love with the same man.
