This was an interesting tale because I knew basic facts about Charles Darwin but to read about his own personal life was interesting. The premise of the novel was his struggle with religion and science. In the beginning, he struggled with the idea on whether or not he would marry and start a family or dedicate himself to his research. He decided to marry his first cousin to keep the family line going and they had kids. They often times got into arguments about religion and science since Emma was very religious. This book also went into detail discussing the evolution theory. It was an interesting read to learn about his thought process and how he became known for this theories. Him and his wife were able to come to terms with their differences about the world and still have complex discussions. This idea is ahead of its time, where others are often shamed for their views against religion.
This is the love story of two opposing views on the topic of god and science.
