I wss fascinated by this story. I did listen to it on audio cd...the readers for Mary and Elizabeth were excellent, accurately portraying each woman's "voice." I knew nothing about paleontology or fossils, so the book provided some information on this field. This book was based on a true story about the Anning family, most importantly Mary Anning, who made remarkable fossil discoveries along the Lyme Regis coast during the restrictive (for women) 19th Century. This look at history is also a story of a friendship that stands the tests of time, class and at times, envy. I usually give my books and audio CD's away after reading/listening but this one is a keeper.
