Trying to stick to only the context of this book is difficult. Especially after reading Alison Weir's book " The Princes in the Tower " which I liked and highly recommend as the other side of the story. From the context of "The Daughter of Time" it's a book about the defence of King Richard lll. Do Grant\ Tey make a case ? I thought they came up with an interesting alternate view. I also agree that they also got me interested in finding out more about this period which I knew very little. If that was the point of the book to challenge one's thinking about history, then I think this is why it was considered one of the top 10 or so books. I think Grant playing the antagonistic approach was clever although his prickly personality could cloud the premise.
