navitia 's review for:

The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton
4.0

I did really enjoy this story.. BUT>>> I think if guided the reader a bit better it would have been a better experience and less confusing.

1) There are a lot of characters and they all run together so much that I caught myself backtracking and rereading a lot.
2) if I knew from the start that one of the narrators was a ghost that would have changed my approach to the book from the get-go. I had to read a review to figure out whether or not the person talking was a ghost or not.
3) while things kinda came together at the end in surprising ways. I wanted to know what Elodie thought and if she ever figured that she held a key item the whole time.
4) what happened to Elodie and the guy who was not her fiancé. What happened to Elodie when she talked to her dad?

So yeah I liked the story but it was frustrating at the same time and geez so many characters.
