jcbmathcat 's review for:
The Daughter of Time
by Josephine Tey
This is one of my favorite books. It is a mystery, but is not like any other mystery. Josephine Tey's detective, Adam Grant, is recuperating in the hospital. To occupy his mind, an actress friend brings him photos of faces/photos of paintings of faces. He happens to find Richard III in the stack and is fascinated by the fact that the face presented to him does not appear to be the face of a cold blooded murderer who killed his two nephews (the famous princes in The Tower).
Using the research services of a young American, Grant is able to piece together what he thinks actually happened and determines who he believes the murderer to be.
I think this is a marvelous book, even though I remain skeptical about anything history presents. Unless I am there to experience it, why should I take anyone's word for what happened? "History is written by the victors." (attributed to Winston Churchill)
