anniecase45 's review for:
The Clockmaker's Daughter
by Kate Morton
A young archivist discovers a long-forgotten satchel with sketches and the photo of a woman from the 19th century. The ensuing journey spans a century of stories and includes a school for girls, a murderous weekend, a family escaping the Blitz during WWII, and the archivist's own mother, who died suddenly years before.
As long as Morton's novel is (very long), you can't help but be drawn into the complex layers and time-jumping storytelling. I appreciated that the modern discovery was put on the back burner early and the focus was on the past and the intricate connections between the characters. An engrossing, enjoyable read.
