Sinopse
Bloomsbury presents The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert, read by Juliet Stevenson.
Shortlisted for the Wellcome Book Prize.
Longlisted for the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction.
A captivating story of botany, exploration and desire, by the multi-million best-selling author of Eat Pray Love.
Everything about life intrigues Alma Whittaker. Her passion for botany leads her far from home, from London to Peru to Tahiti, in pursuit of that rare specimen: knowledge. But as her careful studies draw her deeper into the mysteries of evolution, she meets the man who she will come to love - whose perspective, radically different from her own, will transform the way she understands the world.
Radiating with all the heart, soul and earthiness as its unforgettable heroine, The Signature of All Things is a captivating celebration of the workings of this world, and the mechanisms behind all life.
Resumo da Crítica
"Unlike anything else she has ever written.... Its prose has the elegant sheen of a 19th-century epic, but its concerns - the intersection of science and faith, the feminine struggle for fulfilment - are especially modern." (Steve Almond, International Herald Tribune)
"The story of Alma Whittaker’s journey of discovery has irresistible momentum." (Helen Dunmore, The Times)
"A botanical odyssey through the 19th century, global in ambition, revelling in the period's insatiable curiosity about the world...a tall tale, told with verve and wit." (Guardian)
