Von der hinteren Coverseite

An orphan in a Home for the Destitute
dreams of being a scientist.
But this is the 18th Century . . .
and she is a little girl.

As a child living on the streets of London, then in an orphanage, Dawnay Price grows up determined not to let her background stand in the way of her ambitions.

In an era when women rarely travel alone, especially for scientific study, Dawnay sets sail aboard The Prospect to the beautiful Iberian Peninsula. Amid rumours of mermaids in the sparkling waters, she makes some unexpected discoveries, including what it means to fall in love.

Having fought hard against convention, Dawnay is determined to put her career above all else. Yet as war approaches she finds herself divided by feelings she cannot control.

Told in Dawnay's words, from the author of THE VISITORS, this is an unforgettable story about what it takes to achieve your dreams, even when they seem impossible.

'An original and uplifting novel that beautifully captures a young woman's determination to succeed.'
S D Sykes, author of Plague Land

'Dawnay Price - foundling, scientist, feminist - is a wondrous character and I was on the edge of my seat following her fortunes.'
Louise Walters, author of Mrs Sinclair's Suitcase
