It was so revolutionary that its author,Charles Darwin, revealed to a friend in 1854 that even mentioning it felt like 'confessing a murder'. Both the man and his theory arestill the subject of intrigue and debate. How was it that the unremarkable younger son of a rich plutocrat, who idled through school,dropped out of medical studies and looked destined to be a clergyman of some quiet country parish, came to lay the foundationstone of modern biology? And how was it that another biologist, Alfred Russel Wallace, came up with the same theory at the sametime? The answer may be found in Nicholas Drayson's delicious first novel. Purporting to be an anonymous memoir found in anattic, its author is an arrogant but brilliant homosexual whose life has crossed with that of Darwin with startling regularity.

Peaceful gadzocks andbloodthirsty mistletoes, jumping cucumbers and bat-eating spiders, and most prized of all - the Golden Scarab.…
