Abstract: New York Journal of BooksIn a sleepy French village, the body of a man shot through the head is disinterred by the roots of a fallen tree. A week later a famous art critic is viciously murdered in a nearby house. The deaths occurred more than seventy years apart.Asked by a colleague to inspect the site of the former, forensics expert Enzo Macleod quickly finds himself embroiled in the investigation of the latter. Two extraordinary narratives are set in train - one historical, unfolding in the treacherous wartime years of Occupied France; the other contemporary, set in the autumn of 2020 as France re-enters Covid lockdown.

Abstract: As a boy, James Rebanks's grandfather taught him to work the land the old way. Their family farm in the Lake District hills was part of an ancient agricultural landscape: a patchwork of crops and meadows, of pastures grazed with livestock, and hedgerows teeming with wildlife. And yet, by the time James inherited the farm, it was barely recognisable. The men and women had vanished from the fields; the old stone barns had crumbled; the skies had emptied of birds and their wind-blown song.

Abstract: Mary Anning, rinomata paleontologa autodidatta, lavora da sola sulla selvaggia e brutale costa meridionale inglese di Lyme Regis. Tuttavia, i giorni delle sue famose scoperte sono oramai alle spalle, così, per mantenere se stessa e la madre, vedova e malata, Mary va ora a caccia di ammoniti, le conchiglie fossili che vende ai ricchi turisti. Uno di questi, Roderick Murchison, arriva a Lyme per la prima tappa di un tour europeo e chiede a Mary di prendersi cura della giovane moglie Charlotte, che si sta riprendendo da una tragedia personale. Mary, la cui vita è una lotta quotidiana sulla soglia di povertà, non può permettersi di rifiutare nonostante sia orgogliosa e instancabilmente appassionata del suo lavoro. Le due donne, provenienti da mondi completamente diversi, nonostante l'abisso tra le loro sfere sociali e le loro personalità, ben presto scopriranno di potersi offrire l'un l'altra ciò che stavano cercando: la consapevolezza di non essere sole..
