“Daughters of Time is a collection of 13 stories about important women throughout history. Each story comes with a note from the author has to why they picked that particular lady and additional information about them.
As expected some stories were more interesting than others. A Night at the Theatre, Best After Storms, The Lad That Stands Before You and Return to Victoria were my favourites. They were also the ones where I’d never heard of the women in question.
A few of the authors I’ve read previously but most were new to me, so that gives me a lot of catching up to do.
As you would expect with an anthology not every story will be for you. Some I felt the narration didn’t work as well as it could, strangely it was the stories were I knew the women in question that I enjoyed the least.
Daughters of Time is really interesting, I learned a lot and there are quite a few women I want to know more about. This anthology is certainly an inspiring read.”
