The Daughter of Time is a classic detective novel by Josephine Tey, first published in 1951. In this intriguing story, Scotland Yard Inspector Alan Grant finds himself confined to bed in the hospital due to a broken leg. To pass the time, he delves into a historical mystery after his friend, actress Marta Hallard, introduces him to a captivating portrait of King Richard III. Grant, who believes he can read a person’s character through their appearance, is struck by the gentleness and wisdom he sees in Richard’s face, prompting him to question the historical narrative that brands the king as a cruel murderer.
