The signature of all things / Elizabeth Gilbert.
Spanning much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the novel follows the fortunes of the extraordinary Whittaker family as led by the enterprising Henry Whittaker, a poor-born Englishman who makes a great fortune in the South American quinine trade, eventually becoming the richest man in Philadelphia. Born in 1800, his daughter Alma has an insatiable need to understand the hidden mechanisms behind all life itself. But as Alma's research takes her deeper into the mysteries of evolution, she falls in love with a man who draws her in the opposite direction-into the realm of the spiritual, the divine, and the magical. Alma stands at an extraordinary moment in human history when all the old assumptions about science, religion, commerce, and class were exploding into dangerous new ideas.
