The Essex serpent (this is the real book)

NOW A SERIES ON APPLE TV+
"Part ghost story and part natural history lesson, part feminist parable.... I found it so transporting the 48 hours after completing it, I
was still resentful to be back home."
- New York Times

London, 1893. Seeking refuge after the death of her husband, Cora Seaborne departs for coastal Essex. Once there, she hears rumors that after nearly three hundred years, the mythical Essex Serpent, a fearsome creature that once roamed the marshes, has returned. Eager to investigate, Cora is introduced to parish vicar William Ransome. As they attempt to discover the truth, these seeming opposites find themselves inexorable drawn together-and as their pursuit becomes more urgent, Cora's London past follows her to the coast, with striking consequences.

"Dazzling and intellectually nimble.... The Essex Serpent, amid its Gothic darkness, radiates with
light and life."
- San Francisco Chronicle

"The most delightful heroine since Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and prejudice.... Perry creates that delicate illusion of the best historical fiction: an authentic sense of the past- it's manners, ideals and speech- that feels
simultaneously distant and relevant to us."
- Washington post
