susannadkm 's review for:
The Signature of All Things
by Elizabeth Gilbert
I never would have read past the first chapter except that I read this for a book club. I strongly dislike fictional books like this, where the characters are all so extreme and the plot so unbelievable—that is what makes nonfiction fantastic, but it is unbearable in fiction.
I also disliked the attempt to write in 19th-century English. Cringe.
I asked myself again and again while reading what was the whole point of the book; it really wasn’t clear until the last 20 pages or so of this 502-page book that the point was to tell a story of how a woman could have theorized evolution in Darwin’s time.
