libscote 's review for:
Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith
by Deborah Heiligman
National Book Award Nominee 2009 (and my favorite so far)
This book is more the biography of a marriage than a biography of either Charles and Emma Darwin, although it does give a brief history of their lives prior to their marriage. I think what I liked best about this book was that it showed how someone with deep religious faith and someone who wasn't even sure there was a God could make a marriage work and not be at each other's throats all the time. An interesting look at some interesting people.
