The Daughter of Time | Josephine Tey

pan

Not my cup of tea. While this was an original idea for a mystery novel, it was a bit of a slog to get through. Given that there's really no mystery (Tey was pretty upfront on finding Richard III not guilty), the book has no action. It's really an academic discussion about one king's history and reputation.

Another book #OffMyShelf 🎉 Plus, I‘m making excellent progress on my chunkster & have read at least 100 pages every day this month.

Ruthiella I loved this book! 😂 I felt like it was a sort of cerebral Rear Window. 1w

wanderinglynn @Ruthiella ah, it was kind of like that, except sadly without Jimmy Stewart. 1w

CarolynM You‘re right that nothing happens, yet, like @Ruthiella , I loved it. 7d

rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella @CarolynM I love it too. It‘s the book that made me a Ricardian. 4d

I liked this, but I think it would probably be more enjoyable to people with a deeper knowledge of British history.

I don‘t know if this royal mystery is “solved” but this book puts together an interesting case. I am not an expert so mostly it just made me want to read The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey again.

This was my #BookSpinDoubleSpin for June

After a day out to Bosworth last week, just a bit of a R3 story. Enjoyable, if a bit romanticised.

LeahBergen I‘d like to go to Bosworth!! 9mo

TrishB @LeahBergen it was fab! We were the only 4 on the tour. The guide was great and we got to do all the re-enactments 😁 9mo

The Daughter of Time | Josephine Tey

Isn‘t it fun to have bedtime reading that makes you extra excited to go to bed?

I‘m enjoying this immensely! And how different it would progress in the age of cellphones and internet. Instead of slowing ruminating on King Richard III, getting details bit by bit, all the information would be at Grant‘s fingers with a little googling. I‘m so glad that isn‘t the case 😄

Tamra Yes! It is a gift to look forward to climbing into bed with a book. 😁 💙 10mo

Chrissyreadit I love this book! 10mo

intothehallofbooks I haven‘t heard of this book before but it sounds so so good!! 10mo

Tamra @mabell me too. ☺️ 10mo

CarolynM Yes, all of them, they‘re great, but this one is my favourite🙂 10mo

mabell @dabbe It‘s so good! And I shouldn‘t read it before bed because I have trouble putting it down 😂 10mo

mabell @Chrissyreadit So many books, so little time!! 10mo

mabell @CarolynM I will definitely keep an eye out for the others! 10mo

Richard the Third | Paul Murray Kendall

September 10 #IdiumInsights. BreakALeg one of the reasons this saying may have come to light was when David Garrick actually broke his leg when he was performing Richard 111 and continued to act 🎬 until the play was finished. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs Excellent 🎭❤️🦵 1y
