The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton

5.0

I loved this book. I have read some of Kate Morton's books before and was looking forward to reading this one. I expected a generational story-line with a little mystic mystery and I got that, but I was overwhelmed by how good this was. The writing was beautiful and each character finely drawn. Each tale was absorbing and they linked together very cleverly. The story is about a house and the people who occupied it: an artist's muse, a modern day archivist, the pupils and teachers of a school for young ladies, the beneficiaries of a museum trust, an evacuated family, a historian. Each of them linked to the others through the house. It is a wonderful book. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
