bleyz16 's review for:
The Clockmaker's Daughter
by Kate Morton
Kate Morton is hands down my favorite historical fiction author. I just love her stories - it’s like sitting in front of a cozy fire. I’m actually shocked this doesn’t have a higher rating, although I do love a slow build mystery that is character driven and that may not be everyone’s cup of tea.
Some favorite quotes from the book...such beautiful prose.
...but like someone who accepts that life is inherently unfair. That the only truly fair thing about it is the randomness of its unfairness.
...for people do not change. They remain, as they age, the people that they were when they were young, only frailer and sadder.
...but I have lived a long time and I have learned that one must forgive oneself the past or else the journey in the future becomes unbearable.
Experiencing the world at one remove, through the windows of their phones, making images for later so that they do not need to bother seeing or feeling things now
To accept that life is messy and sometimes mistakes are made; that sometimes they're not even really mistakes, because life isn't linear, and it comprises countless small and large decisions every day.
