What can I say I greatly admire Elizabeth Gilbert's writing and this is a real cracker of a book. There is a fair amount of controversy about whether Darwin was the originator of the theory of evolution or he stole Wallace's proposal. A number of scientist give both individuals equal credit. What if a third person came up with the theory of evolution? Even more that person was female. That is the premise of this book and it makes for a wonderful story. The writing is elegant and the story is compelling. Maybe I should have given it 5 Stars.
