Galileo's Daughter by Dava Sobe.

Galileo's DaughterA Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and Love by Dava Sobe.


I picked up the book for two reasons. 1) Sobe wrote Longitude , several years ago which I enjoyed. 2) point of view of the gifted, scientific daughter was a different approach.

It turned out to be less about the daughter and more about Galileo. It spoke of his trial,  and  the supporting evidence of his genuine  interest in keeping his faith in God through his discoveries . Personally, I did not need another book about Galileo, so I skipped and jumped. Ok read,  but not great; I was looking for something different.
