Publisher Description
A tragic accident: One woman is left dead after she and another woman, both running away from their marriages, collide in the fog on a highway. The survivor, Isabelle, is left to pick up the pieces, not only of her own life but of the lives of the devastated husband and fragile son that the other woman, April, has left behind. Together, they try to solve the mystery of where April was running to, and why. As these three lives intersect, they are left to ask, How well do we really know those we love—and how do we forgive the unforgivable?

"This 1965 translation is quite engaging and easily readable. There's no disappointment here except to those who insist on believing Hollywood's interpretation of the story and even this edition's cover: there are NO dinosaurs although there is a fight between two ancient sea creatures. An excellent read with the mild exception that it actually seemed a little rushed at the end."
— Martin (4 out of 5 stars)

" My English teacher read this book to us. It was so boring. I'm so glad she didn't make us take a test on this because I would have failed it, and it's not that hard to make it look like you're listening when you're completely zoned out. But while my teacher was reading this she even made fun of it. The only reason Jules Verne made this book was to brag about how much he knows about the Earth's history. Literally. You did that and this is considered a classic. What is up with you people. They didn't even make it to the Earth's center! Come on. And the main character, Axle, faints every single chapter. It's just stupid and some of the things they do, or Hans does, is just unbelievable. Really? I don't see why this book is considered to be good. "

" I think I was 7 years old when I read this. It made me want to become a geologist. I became a writer instead. "

" This was a surprisingly good book to me. I was expecting it to be old-timey and irrelevant but it was surprisingly good and easy to understand. It remains a legitimate sci-fi book and I highly recommend it to everyone. "

" Ed and I read this together. I liked that it had short chapters :) I should have read this book years ago when I was taking geology. It had a lot of scientific stuff in it (that went over my head.) AND they took an awful long time to get nowhere. "

" My favorite JV story. It's so detailed and imaginative. "
— Jessica, 11/16/2013 -
" This book took me a while to get into, but once I got into it, it was a very easy read and the story just flowed. I liked the fact that the chapters were also quite short, and therefore, I was able to quickly get through each moment without growing tired of one specific event. "

" Re-read since high school. Slow but interesting if you stick with it "
— Joni, 3/18/2012 -
" I found this book very enjoyable. The sheer knowledge Jules Verne possesses about science subjects is staggering. He describes every incident with a lengthy explanation of how it could be or could not be so. "
