“I suppose that is why it often makes me sad to read about history, or even natural history, as you do; I cannot help but think of everyone whose tale cannot fit in one book, those poor creatures who remain lost or forgotten. Do you think that one day, some Mary of the future will sketch our bones and wonder what we might have been in life?”
A beautifully grotesque novel, I loved how you could evidently see where fact and fiction came together to create this work. I thought that McGill used the work she created to highlight the difficulties that aspiring female scientists would have faced trying to break into the scene and the nonlinear way that the events of the plot are revealed really kept readers guessing. Overall a really unique work for fans of horror
