Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier

"Looking up at the stars so far away, I begun to feel there was a thread running between the earth and them.  Another thread was strung out too, connecting the past to the future, with the ichie at one end, dying all that long time ago and waiting for me to find it.  I didn't know what was at the other end of the thread.  These two threads were so long I couldn't even begin to measure them, and where one met the other, there was me."


Tracy Chevailer VideoTracy discusses her stunning new novel and the breathtaking story that inspired her to write it. Remarkable Creatures tells the story of a beautiful and unlikely friendship forged between two very different women.
