A chick book I guess but I have my chick side. Recommended to me by our fellow member MAG2NYC. I have previously read Gilbert's memoir Eat, Pray, Love and liked it. This novel is much better than that. Set in the 18th/19th centuries and we travel around the globe with Alma, a botanist who has a fascination with moss. The botany angle was a plus for me as I like plants. Alma inherited her profession from her father who became wealthy by using his plant knowledge in the area of pharmaceuticals. Alma soon develops other worldly interests and learns how to satisfy those by herself. I'll leave it at that. This is a very well written book and I would love to see it made into a movie. Has to be better than Eat, Pray, Love.
Grade - A
next up - Epicenter by Joel C. Rosenberg
