📖 Readers Who’ll Love This
Readers who love fictionalised stories of pioneering women and African history

It is 1983, and seventeen-year-old Grace Clark, still reeling from her mother's death, reluctantly travels with her estranged father to an archaeological dig at Olduvai Gorge on Tanzania's Serengeti plains. There she meets the formidable seventy-year-old Mary Leakey, who sets Grace the task of sorting and packing up half a century of work and memories.

As the two spend their days together, Mary looks back on the 1930s, when she refused to wait for permission, slipping into lectures and joining excavations to chase her dream of becoming an archaeologist, and when an illustration commission from Louis Leakey changed the course of her life. Inspired by the real Mary Leakey, Penny Haw's novel is a moving story of grief, ambition and the unlikely friendship between a young woman and a pioneering scientist.
