Description

In this "witty novel about family, friendship, and survival of the fittest,"*Cathleen Schine, one of our most astute social observers,examines the origin of species alongside the origins of who we come to be.

In some mysterious family feud or unintended slight, Jane Barlow Schwartzlost a friend, her cousin and soul mate, Martha. But years later, surrounded by the exotic wildlife of the Galapagos, Jane and Martha meet again.There, amid the antics of blue-footed boobies and red-lipped batfish, Jane sets off on a quest through herfamily history to pinpoint the moment when Martha was no longer the Martha she knew. In the process, she ponders instinct, natural selection, and the oddities of evolution that transform us.As Barbara Kingsolver proclaimed in The NewYork Times Book Review, "We should rejoice in a rare novel like The Evolution of Jane. . .A rollicking family saga tinged with hints of sexual intrigue . . .Three cheers."
