Description
Wandering through the Natural History Museum with her grandchildren, Julia Creath feels the presence of her dead brother, Daniel. She remembers a time when fossil fever hit everyone, old and young – a time when even people would kill for those old bones under the ground.
An old woman tells her grandchildren how her beloved teenage brother was destroyed at the time of the frenzied hunt for dinosaur remains in Nebraska (before the turn of the century). Vivid description, deeply felt characterization, and a simple yet intricately crafted plot are all hallmarks of Conrad’s narrative.–Booklist.
