Award-winning AuthorIn late-18th-century Ireland, Caroline assists her astronomer father in pursuit of an unknown planet. Now, blind from staring at the sun, he's thrown himself from the rooftop, choosing death over a darkened life. This is a novel of the obsessions of the age: scientific inquiry, geographic discovery, and political reformation . . . the quest for knowledge and for human connection.
