Publisher Comments:

Double cassette pack. Running time: 3 hours. Read by David Rintoul. This is a major October title for Fourth Estate, and our Book of the Month.

Synopsis:

Galileo is seen as one of the greatest scientists ever, but little is known of his illegitimate daughter, Virginia. As a nun, she wrote 120 letters to her father from 1623 to her death from exposure and malnutrition ten years later. This text investigates the father-daughter relationship.
