An heiress, an obligation, and an unfortunate love for physics, fossils, dead fish, and . . . ladies?
"At once the easiest truth to know, and the hardest to realize"
Thea Morell, Georgian heiress and eligible lady, is not normal. At least, that's what she has come to believe. She loves nothing more than spending hours at the study of natural history, collecting fossils, insects, dead fish, bones, and even the odd spider. Up to now, she has held off her mother's entreaties to marry, but this year may be her last chance to make a good match and the pressure is mounting.
In her search for scientific truth, Thea also begins to acknowledge a truth about herself—a most inconvenient one which sparks at the lips of the 'electrical venus' and bursts into flame in the presence of the very proper Lady Eleanor Harrington. Despite her attempts to observe and understand, this particular truth defies all rationalization. Has her obsession with the male-dominated world of natural history caused the unnatural tendencies she can't seem to control? And more importantly, can she protect her family's interests whilst reconciling the dual passions of her mind and her heart?

      Two generations before Jane Austen's Mrs. Bennet struggles to marry off her daughters, listeners meet Mrs. Morrell, who also has daughters in need of husbands. Thea, the eldest, is the problem. She's more interested in natural history than in balls or eligible suitors. The accomplished, award-winning narrator Charlie Albers portrays this budding scientist, as well as 35 other characters. She gives members of the Royal Society gruff voices and Thea's mentor and female lover a smoky, lush voice. This is a long audiobook with detailed descriptions of scientific experiments and passages depicting sapphic sexual encounters. The smooth production introduces a woman who is seeking to understand the natural world and her own nature as well. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
