When you think of Charles Darwin the first thing that comes to mind is not "love story" but that is exactly what this is. Charles Darwin and his wife, Emma, had a 43 year marriage that was an stunning example of what a good marriage could be. They were devoted to each other and their ten children in spite of their religious differences. Charles' agnosticism bothered Emma a great deal because she worried that they would not be together in Heaven after their deaths because Charles did not believe in such things. During their lives they suffered many misfortunes, including the deaths of three of their children, but never wavered in their commitment and love for each other. This is a charming book that shows an unexpected side of the amazing scientist and theorist.
