Synopses

The Signature of All Things

Everything about life intrigues Alma Whittaker, and her passion for botany takes her far from home. Travelling from London to Peru and Tahiti, she pursues knowledge through careful study. As she is drawn into the mysteries of evolution, she meets a man she comes to love, whose radically different perspective changes how she understands the world.

City of Girls

New York, 1940. Young, glamorous and inseparable, Vivian and Celia chase trouble from one end of the city to the other. Their play carries risk, making it both thrilling and dangerous. Even when the world feels as if it is ending, for Vivian and Celia life is only just beginning.

Big Magic

Elizabeth Gilbert shares her wisdom and understanding of creativity, challenging perceptions of mystery and suffering around the process. Drawing on stories from her own life, as well as those of friends and people who have inspired her, she encourages readers to embrace curiosity, pursue what they love and face what they fear.
