Richard III has been in the news as of late; researchers and forensic scientists have recently confirmed that the ruins located underneath a parking lot in Leicester were indeed that of the late Richard III, King of Great Britain. But who really was Richard III? Was he a tyrant and murderer, like how Shakespeare depicted him in the historical drama Richard III? Or was he just a misunderstood ruler, with the Tudor dynasty power hungry and itching for the crown? The Daughter of Time explores these ideas and more. In the book, Alan Grant, a police officer from Scotland Yard, is stuck in the hospital. When he sees a portrait of Richard III, he analyzes his face and believes that he is not the murderer everyone set him out to be. With the help of a researcher from the British Museum, the two men journey out to find what exactly RIchard III was like, and was there really proof of him killing his two nephews. It’s a great read for those who like detective stories and discovering the truth. The Daughter of Time is available through our online catalog SWAN.
