John Pipkin’s THE BLIND ASTRONOMER’S NOTEBOOK, is set in 1798, against the background of Romanic scientific discoveries, with a young woman’s return to Ireland from England and her discovery of a notebook left by her late father, a blind astronomer who spent his life futilely searching for a new planet, and who becomes determined to complete her father’s work, caught in a race against astronomers throughout Europe, looking for the same planet, while contending with a violent rebellion at home that threatens to destroy her father’s observatory to Nan Tales in a very nice deal by agent Marly Rusoff at Marly Rusoff & Associates.
