The Daughter of Time
What's it about
Ever wondered if history got it wrong? What if one of history's most notorious villains was actually innocent? Get ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about King Richard III and discover how a centuries-old lie became accepted as fact. Join a detective confined to a hospital bed as he uses modern investigative techniques to unravel a 500-year-old mystery. You'll learn how to separate truth from propaganda, analyze historical evidence like a pro, and see how easily reputations can be destroyed—or redeemed—by those who control the narrative.
Meet the author
Josephine Tey was the pen name of Elizabeth MacKintosh, a celebrated Scottish author whose crime fiction is hailed as some of the most intelligent in the genre. A trained physical education instructor and successful playwright under the name Gordon Daviot, she brought a unique, analytical perspective to her novels. This methodical approach is famously demonstrated in The Daughter of Time, where her detective hero meticulously re-examines historical evidence from a hospital bed, showcasing Tey's mastery of blending suspense with rigorous intellectual inquiry.
