Description
Edmund Gosse's childhood memoir tells the story of his often fractious relationship with his father. A pioneering naturalist and marine biologist, Philip Henry Gosse's worldview was brought into crisis by the discoveries of Charles Darwin and the death of his wife, Emily. As Edmund breaks away from his father's influence, he describes a struggle to reconcile different temperaments and find his own path. This is a story of evolution - not just in science, but also in personal growth and understanding. With an afterword from Sarah Perry and an introduction from Anthony Quinn, this book offers a unique perspective on the complexities of family relationships and the power of self-discovery.
