We should rejoice in a rare book like The Evolution of Jane . . . A beautifully descriptive travelogue of the Galapagos . . . wrapped around a rollicking family saga tinged with hints of sexual intrigue. Barbara Kingsolver, New York Times Book Review

Classy, intelligent fun. People

In some mysterious family feud or unintended slight, Jane Barlow Schwartz lost a friend, her cousin and soul mate Martha. Years later, surrounded by the exotic wildlife of the Galapagos, Jane and Martha meet again. Amid the antics of blue-footed boobies and red-lipped batfish, Jane sets off on a quest through her family history to pinpoint the moment when Martha was no longer the Martha she knew, when the happiest part of her life lapsed into extinction. In the process, she ponders instinct, natural selection, and the oddities of evolution that transform us, examining the origin of species alongside the origins of who we come to be.
