Charles and Emma was published to coincide with the 150th year anniversary of the publication of the Origin of Species, which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. The story of Charles and Emma is about how Darwin's scientific beliefs and his wife's religious beliefs and the tensions which arose between their views affected their marriage and relationship.
"This rich, insightful portrait of Charles and Emma Darwin's marriage explores a dimension of the naturalist's life that has heretofore been largely ignored… The narrative conveys a vivid sense of what life was like in Victorian England… readers…will discover two brilliant thinkers whose marital dialectic will provide rich fodder for discussions of science and faith."—Kirkus
