Signature of All Things: Discussion

A novel in the style of Dickens, fittingly so as it took place in the 1800's, brought us all together in agreement:  A really enjoyable book.  Including G!  (Although there was a moment when she almost talked herself out of liking it..)

Linear with a plot that chugged along, years flew by...written off  in a sentence--Signature of All Things was a welcome change from last month's book.  No time switching, no spiraling around to get to the truth...just a steady trip forward from point A to point B.
However, members commented:  Characters were flat, one dimensional--like the ones that people Dickens' novels.

Some comments not heard: Blogger had not finished book.
Sexual stuff felt forced and anachronistic.  Agree?
Character went on her own journey filled with Food, Love, and Spirituality similar to author's journey in Eat, Pray, Love?

How are evolution and altruism compatible?  Here is a link if you want to read up on it.

Next month:  My recommendation is up.  Yikes.
