Sorry, mixing up my novels. The book is “Daughters of Nantucket, “ by Julie Gerstenblatt. I don’t know yet whether it’s a book that I would recommend, but this article helps to better understand the background of the book.

Timely! I’m currently reading the novel “Nantucket Women,” and Maria Mitchell is a lead character. Thanks for filling in some of the background!
