Helpful Score: 4
Don't be put off by the title--this book isn't an attack on either Darwin or the theory of evolution. Instead, it's a historical mystery in the tradition of A. S. Byatt's "Possession." In one narrative thread, we gradually learn what happened during the Beagle's voyage; in the other, we meet two modern scholars trying to unearth that story through documents. The novel has appealing characters and a lot of emotional force.
