COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Excellent non-fiction, slightly misleading title submitted by kassafrass on July 18, 2018, 2:44pm This is the second of Sobel's books I have read, and I really enjoy the narrative, story-driven feel that her non-fiction has. However, in spite of the title, I learned much more about Galileo than about Galileo's daughter. I didn't mind at all, since I still thought the book was interesting and well-written. What's more, I still did pick up a lot of interesting information about his daughters, but that definitely wasn't the sole focus, and more of a framework around which a biography of Galileo was written.
