AMAZING.
Dear Ones —
Here is a link to the wonderful review of "The Signature of All Things" that will run on the cover of the New York Times Book Review this Sunday, written by Barbara ("The Poisonwood Bible") Kingsolver.
I am so incredibly honored. She's been a hero of mine for many years. Actually, I am staggered.
But I must warn you before you open this link:
SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT!
YOU WILL FIND OUT STUFF ABOUT SURPRISES IN THE NOVEL IF YOU READ THIS ENTIRE REVIEW!!!
So…up to you! Read at your own risk.
But in the meanwhile, I can safely share this generous excerpt:
“Gilbert has established herself as a straight-up storyteller who dares us into adventures of worldly discovery, and this novel stands as a winning next act. 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 uncommonly patient minds.”
— The New York Times Book Review, Barbara Kingsolver
Thank you, Ms. Kingsolver. I am deeply honored.
ONLY FOUR MORE DAYS, GUYS!

THE EVENING COUNTDOWN CONTINUES…
Only 5 more days until "The Signature of All Things" is published!
And for tonight's countdown cake, a very special image — a picture of me and my very own 5th birthday cake, which I remember well because it had PINK candles, and we were at my GRANDMA OLSON'S, and all my COUSINS were there, and afterward we were going to the LAKE!
I'm probably just about excited now as I was then.
Which is to say: REALLY excited.
🙂
Also, I just found out that the novel is going be on the cover of the New York Times Book Review this Sunday, in a wonderful review written by none other than the great Barbara Kingsolver.
Which makes me feel like: PINK! GRANDMA OLSON'S! COUSINS! LAKE! all over again.

Viking will publish Gilbert’s sixth book, a novel titled “The Signature of All Things.” It is her first work of fiction in 13 years and unlike anything she has ever written. The book’s heroine is Alma Whittaker, the brilliant, restless daughter of an imperious botanical explorer. Its prose has the elegant sheen of a 19th-century epic, but its concerns — the intersection of science and faith, the feminine struggle for fulfillment, the dubious rise of the pharmaceutical industry — are essentially modern.
