“You need to be careful when reading biographies and history.” I lift my head at this, and she looks me in the eye. “You have to remember that it is merely one version of events, and only the parties involved can ever know the real truth. There are always numerous interpretations, and hearsay, about who said or did what. Misunderstandings occur even in real time; you can see that on the internet. So when it comes to events deep in the past, it’s very difficult to be sure of what is accurate.”
