The Signature of All Things

Author: Elizabeth Gilbert
Stars: 3
Review by: BookDancer

I would give it a 5 for beautiful, lyrical writing and its grand sweep of places, settings and events, but a 2 for ridiculous, implausible characters and their interactions.  Another 2 for its sheer length and tedious botanical descriptions. Have I missed something here?  It has been optioned for MASTERPIECE by the BBC, so it's worth the slog.  The sets alone will be sumptuous.
