Elizabeth Gilbert returns to Asheville! Detailed and well-researched historical fiction, The Signature of All Things follows the fascinating life of Alma Whittaker, a female botanist and moss enthusiast in the early 19th century. A staff favorite, The Signature of All Things is “a bracing homage to the many natures of genius and the inevitable progress of ideas, in a world that reveals its best truths to the uncommonly patient minds,” according to Barbara Kingsolver in the New York Times Book Review.
