Praise for Remarkable Creatures
‘It is a stunning story, compassionately reimagined’
Guardian
‘Chevalier recently stated that making fossils sexy was one of her chief aims in writing Remarkable Creatures. With this very entertaining book, she has certainly succeeded’
Telegraph
‘Very entertaining and informative’
The Times
‘The backdrop of shifting evolutionary ideas finds a rueful echo in Chevalier’s tender portrayal of two extraordinary women who refuse to be constrained by society’
Sunday Telegraph
‘An enthralling novel of female friendship and fossil hunting.’
Woman and Home
‘An extraordinary tale about two 19th century women who attempt to alter ideas about creationism with their discoveries of dinosaur fossils’
Daily Mirror
‘Involving themes of friendship and the hidden world of women as much as the excitement of discovering the fossils’ significance, Remarkable Creatures is itself a find’
Metro
‘Chevalier shows her skill for working history’s lost individuals into far-reaching fiction’
Good Housekeeping
