#TheCoralThief #RebeccaStott #MarvellousMarch #BookSpinBingo

Paris, 1815 Daniel Connor, a young medical student from Edinburgh, has arrived to study anatomy at the Jardin des Plantes only to realize that his letters of introduction and precious coral specimens, on which his tenure with the legendary Dr. Cuvier depends, have been stolen. His thief turns out to be a beautiful woman who lives in a shadowy realm of outlaws, philosophers, and emigres.

EadieB As Daniel falls in love with her, he discovers a radical theory of evolution that irrevocably changes his conception of the world. I found the scientific information and the revolution in France interesting but I found the character development and plot too weak. I enjoyed learning about transformism and how it changed views on religion and the origin of species before Charles Darwin's book about evolution. 3y
EadieB I have read and enjoyed Stott's novel Ghostwalk but enjoyed it more than this book. If you like history and science mixed together then you may enjoy this book. (edited) 3y
