The Blind Astronomer's Daughter (New York, Bloomsbury, 2016) is a historical novel by John Pipkin, set largely on an estate in Ireland in the late 18th century.

Arthur is keenly interested in astronomy, and gradually becomes obsessed with competing with William Herschel for discoveries in the night sky.

Soon after the wealthier couple adopt the baby girl, Theodosia dies, leaving Arthur a widowed father.

Arthur with his young daughter, and Owen and his family, struggle for years to keep the estate running smoothly.

As adults Caroline and Finn fall in love, but the unrest of the Irish Rebellion of 1798 disrupts their lives and separates them.
