I was nervous about reading Elizabeth Gilbert's fiction because I have a great connection to her non-fiction and I worried this wouldn't hold up but that was far from the case. This book was beautiful, sweeping and epic. It's different from anything I've read in as long as I can remember. It is long but it flowed well and never felt slow for me despite the amount of scientific info that is tucked into the story. Alma's story is compelling and heart wrenching. Despite her life being different from mine, I could relate to her and came to love her. The end left me feeling dissatisfied but I can also see why the author would leave things that way. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction or just a well written novel.
