The Naturalist's Daughter

The Naturalists daughter by Tea Cooper

Two women - born over a century apart both had the same goal.... To solidify the classification of the platypus.

Rose in 1808 wants to share her fathers discovery when he can no longer travel but being a woman makes it almost impossible to get anyone to listen to her.

Tamsin 1908 goes to collect a sketch book from the collection of a now deceased woman and the discovery, if found to be accurate, will be ground breaking. Trouble is, she's not the only person with a great interest in the sketch book..

It was good! I enjoyed the book but I was so slow and it really dragged in places. The story was great, I loved the writing but the pace was so off for me I found myself forgetting whose story I was reading and had to go back.
I loved the plot and the characters were well rounded and realistic. The pace was just off for me. Had it been better, this would have been a winner.
