naimfrewat 's review for:
The Daughter of Time
by Josephine Tey
It's a light read but one that could open up a whole world if the reader is interested to put the book aside and plunge into a bit of history. I liked that this book shows how difficult it is to pinpoint exactly what happened in history, that a historian's psychology and limited resources drive him to all sorts of conclusions. I also liked how Josephine Tey painted those historical figures from the events of the transition of power.
Quote to retain: [Historians] they see history like a peepshow; with two-dimensional figures against a distant background.
