«La hija de Galileo» is the historical essay by Dava Sobel, published by Debate Editorial in hardback (376 pages, in Spanish).
Through the letters that Maria Celeste, Galileo's daughter and a nun, sent to her father, Dava Sobel reconstructs the relationship between them and the scientist's life in seventeenth-century Italy. The account shows Maria Celeste's support for Galileo's work and addresses the conflict between science, religion, and family.

A work suitable for readers interested in the history of science and in seventeenth-century biographies.
