betsygant 's review for:
The Daughter of Time
by Josephine Tey
"Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority." ~Sir Francis Bacon
(Trying not to make any spoilers in this review. Read at your own risk).
Loved this! However, since the publication of this book, Richard the III's body was exhumed from a parking lot in 2012, and further evidence and historical accounts seem to point to other conclusions than this detective novel makes. Enjoyed reading this so much and doing further research on Richard III. The impact of this novel on history and its readers changed a generation's perception of this king, and I think that's pretty cool.
P.S. Listening to Derek Jacobi narrate this was the bomb.com.
