  The Daughter of Time is an entertaining and thought-provoking fiction. I recommend it for all amatuer historians out there. It opens your eyes to the bias of history. And for someone like me who is passionate about the Plantagenets and Richard III...

  The first book that caused me to really think in an academic way about evidence and cause.

  A very good companion piece to go with is the BBC radio show dramatization of the book. Check the link at www.bbc.co.uk/radio7 for the occasional replay.

  A unique mix of history and mystery novel with smart and witty dialog. British history buffs should enjoy it a lot.
  One most definitely should not believe all that is written in history texts!
