Review:
"One of the most distinguished of all modern biographies" (Guardian)
"A monumental and absorbing biography" (Scotsman)
"Her first book, Voyaging, was hailed as a magisterial introduction to Darwin's life, a work that vividly evoked period, character and ideas. The only question was: could she follow it up? It has taken seven years to get an answer: an emphatic yes" (Robin McKie Observer)
"Browne's first volume was warmly received when it appeared seven years ago, and the second triumphantly fulfils its promise...[a] remarkable book" (James Secord Daily Telegraph)
"A marvellous book... This second part of the life stands on its own. Soothing, unhurried and absorbing" (Jane Ridley Spectator)
