A pioneering naturalist and marine biologist, Philip Henry Gosse''s strictly religious worldview is brought into crisis by the discoveries of Charles Darwin and the death of his wife - and Edmund’s mother - Emily. As Edmund breaks away from his father''s influence, the evolution from one epoch to the next is described in all of its struggle, humour and glory.
