Now you can pick up Dava Sobel鈥檚 Galileo鈥檚 Daughter in paperback. An
elegant account of Galileo鈥檚 life and times, this book springs from Sobel鈥檚
discovery of an Italian translation of the letters from his daughter Virginia.
Born out of wedlock, she spent her adult life in a poverty-stricken convent. She
wrote to her father, and he wrote back. But the ghost haunting the book is the
loss of the great scientist鈥檚 letters. Her father kept hers, the convent
disposed of his. Published by Fourth Estate, 拢7.99, ISBN 1857027124.
