    Dava Sobel Historical Editorial Review

    'Galileo's Daughter' by Dava Sobel is a well-researched account of Galileo's life and the relationship he had with his oldest daughter, Suor Maria Celeste. It describes the difficulties he faced in the face of the Catholic Church's opposition to his scientific discoveries, which resulted in him being imprisoned. The book moves beyond his scientific achievements and provides an insight into the everyday life, struggles and aspirations of the people living in medieval times. One fascinating aspect of the book is the way in which Sobel paints a portrait of Suor Maria Celeste by piecing together letters, which offers a glimpse into the life of a woman during the period.

    Pros

    • Well-researched and detailed insight into the life of Galileo and his daughter, Suor Maria Celeste.
    • Offers a glimpse into the difficulties faced by scientists during the medieval period.
    • Provides an overview of the everyday life, struggles and aspirations of the people living during the era.
    • Written in a clear and concise style.
    • Contains some beautiful passages.

    Cons

    • May be too dry for some readers.
    • Focuses primarily on Galileo's relationship with his daughter, which may not be of interest to everyone.
