"James Morrow's uncanny genius for creating imagined worlds within historical ones finds its full flowering in Galapagos Regained. In Chloe Bathurst, sometime assistant to Charles Darwin, the author has forged one of his most memorable characters--a young woman who risks life and livelihood in an epic quest to save her destitute father. Erudite, hilarious, prodigiously inventive on every page, Galapagos Regained is simply intoxicating in its originality and wisdom."-Bradford Morrow, author of The Forgers.
