Galileo’s Daughter: A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and Love is a 1999 nonfiction book by Dava Sobel. It details the relationship between Renaissance scientist Galileo and his daughter Suor Maria Celeste, a nun. Sobel, a well-known science writer, based the book on Maria Celeste’s 124 surviving letters; Galileo’s are lost to history. His daughter’s letters, and the book, display her sharp mind, hard work, and love for her publicly disgraced father. Her letters also offer a glimpse of who Galileo was on a personal level.
