There were several moments during this book that I thought perhaps adults would like it more than kids would. I picked up Charles and Emma mostly because I'm interested in science. I enjoyed learning about Charles Darwin's family life and the origins of his Theory of Evolution. Much of the story is told in the language of the times--the 1800's--through letters written by Charles and his wife (and first cousin!) Emma. The love story is wonderful. It's incredible that Charles and Emma had such a strong relationship despite their religious differences.
