«La firma de todas las cosas» is the historical novel by Elizabeth Gilbert, published by Suma de Letras in hardback (648 pages, in Spanish).
Alma Whittaker is born in 1800 in Philadelphia, into a wealthy family linked to botany. Heir to that passion, she devotes herself to the study of mosses and to questions about the origin of life. Her relationship with a utopian artist pits reason against the spiritual world, in a story that travels from London to Peru, Tahiti and Amsterdam.
The original English title is The Signature of All Things (2013). The work was nominated for the Women's Prize for Fiction and the Wellcome Book Prize.
For reading clubs and for those who prefer character-driven historical novels with a scientific background and journeys across several continents.
