Zusammenfassung

In 1844, at 94 years of age, Caroline Herschel was in the midst of a frustrated attempt at writing her memoirs. She sent the writings and many letters to her niece Arabella, suggesting the girl 'twist it into a Novel entitled The Life and Adventures of Miss Caroline Herschel'.

Double the Stars Zusammenfassung

Double the Stars Kelley Swain

A novel based on the lifestory of Caroline Herschel (1750-1848), a woman of German descent who moved to England in her early twenties, becoming a singer in high society Bath. Caroline supported her brother, William, when he was appointed Court Astronomer to King George III, she took an interest in his studies, and herself became an astronomer of significance.

Double the Stars Bewertungen

Arabella never wrote the proposed novel, but Caroline's story is brought to life in Double the Stars. Escaping a life of drudgery with her mother, Caroline becomes a successful singer in high society 1780s Bath, but this life is wrenched from her when her brother, William, is appointed astronomer to King George III. As William makes discoveries that shoot him to celebrity, Caroline falls in love with astronomy for herself, making her own discoveries about the skies she sweeps from the roof-top. Friendship, love, betrayal and loyalty compete in this beautifully rendered life of an extraordinary woman living in extraordinary times. Writing with the precision and clarity of an award-winning poet, Kelley Swain's debut novel is charming, fresh and engaging. A luminous, compelling story from a highly talented young author. -- Publisher: Cinnamon Press
