Aprašymas

1620. Dorset's Jurassic Coast. A land rich in fossils. A time short on mercy.

Witchcraft is a hanging crime - but there are always girls who can't fit in.

Caroline. The secretive girl whirling inward. A poor fisherman's daughter with a hidden yearning for scholarship.

Her little town hates her because her mother's an outsider. They don't know Ma can make shadows come to life. And even Ma doesn't know what happens to a snakestone - an ammonite fossil - when Caroline studies it too long.

Letty. The unruly girl whirling outward. Daughter of a gentleman philosopher. She should be a credit to him. She should be respectable. She should stop fidgeting, stop her mess, stop her nonsense.

The only soul who loves her is her brother Harry. And his trip to the coast to study fossilia will only take a few weeks. But Letty's known too little kindness to stay steady when she's left behind.

A gorgeously realised tale of fossils, feminism and found family, perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher and Emilia Hart, this is the tale of what happens when two twisted paths intertwine. This is the tale of The Snakestone Girls.
