ivleafclover 's review for:
The Daughter of Time
by Josephine Tey
Call it 3.75. I enjoyed the mystery, but my eyes kept glazing over during long descriptions of royal genealogies and where they all were on this or that day. It was very biblical in the sense of so-and-so begat whosit and lived 483 years and whosit begat whatshis and lived 523 years and so on. And in the end, most of it seemed irrelevant to the solution. You really have to care about the English monarchy to track about half the story. On the other hand the mystery of who murdered the princes in the tower is one of the great historical mysteries, and it was interesting to see how Tey pieced together Richard III’s character out of primary sources.
