Chevalier has a rare gift for bringing history to life in fiction. Remarkable Creatures is the story of two women who made their mark on natural history in a time when women weren't allowed to publish or participate in academics. The story alternates between the perspective of an educated woman of some means and a working class woman with little formal education. Themes explored include gender roles, social class, natural history, and friendship.
