justfoxie 's review for:
Was this lent this by a friend who really enjoyed it. I liked the premise and since I'm planning to visit Italy later this month, thought it might be good timing.
Sadly the framework is only partially implemented. This really is a biography of Galileo and the interspersion of his daughter's letters merely a nice touch. It's hard to get much of a feel for her. Still, the author does manage to use Suor Maria Celeste's letters to humanise a man perhaps better known for his intellectual largesse. A good read, just doesn't quite live up to it's initial promises.
