This story of a remarkable woman is very well researched & well placed in historical context. Her life work, begun at 72, seems somewhat arcane now but intriguing esp. to those of us interested in all things botanical. The author's attempt to relate her own life experience to that of her subject three centuires earlier is not always convincing. This is a 'good read' all the same.
