This is a collection of short stories by Andrea Barrett, a National Book Award-winning writer who studied biology and zoology. I thought it looked intriguing. Wiki says this about her: Barrett is particularly well known as a writer of historical fiction and her work reflects her lifelong interest in science as many of her characters are scientists, often nineteenth-century biologists.
Also, I fell in love with the book's cover.
Sorry for the delay in making a selection! To make up for my tardiness, maybe we could start discussing on Sept. 24, assuming everyone gets their book in the next week or so?

Yes, that cover is stunning. And it sounds interesting!
I just got my copy in the mail. I'm extremely excited.
Mine shipped yesterday!
We have "ship fever." Hehe
September 24 has come and gone -- let's see some discussion!
