Tracy Chevalier made her first bold stroke on the canvas of the literary world with 1999's Girl with a Pearl Earring, which took readers inside the mysterious Vermeer painting of the same name. Her fascination with art and history saturates her work, bringing it to vibrant life.
A voyage of discoveries, a meeting of two remarkable women, and extraordinary time and place enrich bestselling author Tracy Chevalier's enthralling new novel From the moment she's struck by lightening as a baby, it is clear that Mary Anning is marked for greatness. On the windswept, fossil-strewn beaches of the English coast, she learns that she has "the eye"-and finds what no one else can see. When Mary uncovers an unusual fossilized skeleton in the cliffs near her home, she sets the religious fathers on edge, the townspeople to vicious gossip, and the scientific world alight. In an arena dominated by men, however, Mary is barred from the academic community; as a young woman with unusual interests she is suspected of sinful behavior. Nature is a threat, throwing bitter, cold storms and landslips at her. And when she falls in love, it is with an impossible man. Luckily, Mary finds an unlikely champion in prickly Elizabeth Philpot, a recent exile from London, who also loves scouring the beaches. Their relationship strikes a delicate balance between fierce loyalty, mutual appreciation, and barely suppressed envy. Ultimately, in the struggle to be recognized in the wider world, Mary and Elizabeth discover that friendship is their greatest ally. "Remarkable Creatures" is a stunning novel of how one woman's gift transcends class and social prejudice to lead to some of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century. Above all, is it a revealing portrait of the intricate and resilient nature of female friendship.

不知道是不是比君特還好看的書啊,你是這樣嗎?在每個人的內心裏,都有一隻名叫君特懶豬狗,不過他的性格和長相卻大不相同。他認為工作上的辛苦勞纍是令人痛苦不堪的地獄,安全享樂纔是絕對的天堂。因此他總是想保護我們避免受到各種煩心事兒的睏擾,想知道怎麼打敗他,看書吧...
評分藍天白雲海岸勾勒齣一幅落寞而美麗的畫,素顔裙擺飄揚的紅絲帶點綴其中,烘托齣兩個女子若即若離的背影。《與化石打交道的女孩》就這樣躍然跳入我的眼中。它素雅清爽的外錶讓我暫時忘記瞭仲夏的悶熱,一股清涼沁入心脾,猶如海風拂麵。 這是我看特蕾西•雪佛蘭的第二本書。第...

評分我就不必多費筆墨形容瞭,大傢自己看看書名《與化石打交道的女孩》,再看看讓人無可迴避的封麵圖,兩個看似同齡的女子麵朝大海,背對我們。即便作者是大名鼎鼎的特蕾西雪佛蘭,盡管有《戴珍珠耳環的女孩》珠玉在前,盡管特蕾西雪佛蘭素來以為重現嚴肅曆史題材著稱,我們仍不免...

由真實事件改編 讀起來也不像一般的小說各種“套路” 。時不時讀到主人公受到的不公正待遇 會讓讀者反觀現在 一百多年過去瞭 社會觀念的變化 對於短短幾十年的人生 是等不起的 對於盡力瞭卻仍改變不瞭的環境 不是非得去認同 但最好調整好自己的心態 專注於更值得珍惜的“財富” 比如愛 比如愛好 比如思考的能力
評分是吧,人與人之間的感情如此脆弱,經不起一點嫉妒與猜忌,
評分<Ammonite>背景故事 19世紀英國鄉村未婚女性的瑣碎生活 / 其實主要在寫Elizabeth和Mary的階級對比 但更有意思的明明應該是化石與宗教的衝突 學術界的性彆歧視 可惜都幾筆帶過 / 我誤以為倆女主同齡 誰知Saoirse的角色居然比KW的角色大20歲 -。-
