OverviewThe story follows Alma Whittaker, daughter of a botanical explorer, as she comes into her own within the world of plants and science. As Alma’s careful studies of moss take her deeper into the mysteries of evolution, she starts a spiritual journey which spans the 19th Century. Critical receptionThe reception to the book has been positive. Elizabeth Day of The Guardian praised the complex characters, noting that "Alma's journey a universal one, despite anchoring her protagonist's life in a different time and sending her to the furthest corners of the unexplored earth."[2] Barbara Kingsolver of The New York Times labelled it "a bracing homage to the many natures of genius and the inevitable progress of ideas, in a world that reveals its best truths to uncommonly patient minds."[3] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.womensprizeforfiction.co.uk/reading-room/book/the-signature-of-all-things|title=The Signature of All Things|last=|first=|date=|website=Women's Prize for Fiction|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 2. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/oct/06/signature-all-things-elizabeth-gilbert-review|title=The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert – review|last=Day|first=Elizabeth|date=2013-10-06|newspaper=The Guardian|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077|access-date=2016-08-05}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/29/books/review/elizabeth-gilberts-signature-of-all-things.html|title=Elizabeth Gilbert’s ‘Signature of All Things’|last=Kingsolver|first=Barbara|date=2013-09-26|newspaper=The New York Times|issn=0362-4331|access-date=2016-08-05}} External links
