(1) YA With empathy and humor, Heiligman's narrative examines Darwin's legacy through the unique lens of his domestic life. Charles's wife Emma, devoutly religious, supported him but feared for his eternal welfare. Charles, in turn, wanted to please Emma, but not at the expense of science. This timely, relevant book works as a history of science, a biography, and a romance. Bib., ind.
