More about the book

Caroline, affectionately called Lina, steps out of her brother William Herschel's shadow when she moves to England to support his musical and astronomical endeavors. Embracing her role in his bachelor household, she discovers a renewed sense of purpose. Despite William's obsessive genius, Lina's deep admiration for him fuels her dedication, as she assists him with unwavering devotion, akin to that of a loving partner. Their relationship highlights themes of familial loyalty and the often-overlooked contributions of women in the sciences.
