 ELIZABETH GILBERT Presents THE SIGNATURE OF ALL THINGS (Tickets are $20) Elizabeth Gilbert returns to Asheville! She will join us to discuss her latest novel, The signature of all things, and celebrate its publication in paperback. Detailed and well-researched historical fiction, The signature of all things follows the fascinating life of Alma Whittaker, a female botanist and moss enthusiast in the early 19th century. A staff favorite, The signature of all things is “a bracing homage to the many natures of genius and the inevitable progress of ideas, in a world that reveals its best truths to the uncommonly patient minds,” according to Barbara Kingsolver in the New York Times Book Review.
This event will be at UNCA’s Lipinsky Auditorium and is presented in partnership with the Great Smokies Writing Program. Tickets are $20 and each ticket comes with a paperback copy The signature of all things. We encourage you to purchase tickets early, as we expect this event to sell out.

 Elizabeth Gilbert in conversation with Caroline Baum Elizabeth Gilbert is famous for her self-discovery memoir, Eat, Pray Love – the international bestseller that became a travel phenomenon, a Hollywood movie and an inspiration to women the world over. But before she was a poster-girl for finding yourself through travel, she was a much-praised novelist and a National Book Award winner, with four books under her belt. Her first novel in 13 years, The Signature of All Things – a wildly imaginative literary page-turner – has met with a rapturous critical reception. The Guardian’s Elizabeth Day called it ‘quite simply one of the best novels I have read in years’.
The Signature of All Things tells the story of scientific trailblazer Alma Whittaker, a woman of the Enlightenment Age who stands defiantly on the cusp of the modern. Though her passion for botany and brilliant career are her driving force, she is disappointed in love. While Alma’s careful studies of moss take her deeper into the mysteries of evolution, the man she comes to love draws her in the opposite direction.
Elizabeth Gilbert appears at the Frankston Arts Centre, in conversation with one of her closest friends, author and musician Rayya Elias, who will also perform songs from the soundtrack to her book Harley Loco. The following night sees Elizabeth in conversation with Caroline Baum at Federation Square, both unmissable opportunities to catch one of the world’s most popular writers.
