The Clockmaker's Daughter
by Kate Morton
This is the first Kate Morton book I've read. I've been drawn to her books in the past but just haven't picked one up. Historical Fiction isn't really in my usual wheelhouse. To each her own. This book is told through multiple interwoven plot lines, which I LOVE, and I enjoyed watching them all come together. I dashed through the last 25% of the book, watching all the pieces click satisfyingly into place. Eh, almost all the pieces.
It took forever to get through the first 75% of the book, and I just. did. not. care. for Elodie's plot line. Of all the intertangled lives, I felt like hers was the least compelling and the least satisfying at the end of the book. I have so many questions... Putting that aside, I was charmed by the rest of the characters (More Juliet, please! More Ada!) and loved the combination of a ghost story, a love story, and a puzzle.
