She will join us to discuss her latest novel, The Signature of All Things, and celebrate its publication in paperback. 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. This event will be at UNCA’s Lipinsky Auditorium and is presented in partnership with the Great Smokies Writing Program. Tickets are $20 and each ticket comes with a paperback copy The Signature of All Things. We encourage you to purchase tickets early, as we expect this event to sell out.
