A Coastal Reading Ritual with Tracy Chevalier’s "Remarkable Creatures"

In this episode of The Ritual of Reading, I invite you to join me for a walk along the windswept beaches of Normandy and into the world of Tracy Chevalier’s Remarkable Creatures. Part travel reflection, part book meditation, this episode explores how the quiet presence of the sea, the act of noticing, and the overlooked lives of women like Mary Anning and Elizabeth Philpot can inspire our own daily rituals.We’ll talk about fossils, solitude, green tea that tastes like seaweed, and the invisible threads that guide our reading journeys. Whether you're listening from the coast or the city, let this be a gentle moment of literary escape and coastal wonder.✨ Includes a reading from Remarkable Creatures📖 Perfect for lovers of historical fiction, slow living, and mindful reading🌊 Bring your tea and your curiosity
