She read her first book on psychology out of curiosity, because it seemed to her an interesting sort of thing; and she read all the rest to see if they were just as silly. By the time she had read thirty-seven books on the subject, she had evolved ideas of her own on psychology; at variance, of course, with all thirty-seven volumes read to date. In fact, the thirty-seven volumes seemed to her so idiotic and made her so angry that she sat down there and then and wrote reams of refutal.

I read The Daughter of Time over 20 years ago and still think about it sometimes. It led me to other books about Richard. I love history-- and historical fiction because it leads me to history. It is a book I'd like to re-read and also follow up on some of Tey's other books.
