The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry
4.0

The best historical fiction shows people behaving in ways that are appropriate to the time setting... Tuberculosis, fossil-hunting, autism, and straight-laced gender roles all play into this story about love, attraction, and hysteria set so firmly in its time (1893) so as to seem like a fever-dream.
