A review by cphenly
The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton

5.0

I'm a big Kate Morton fan anyway, and this book does not disappoint. It took me a long time to get through it because I could only get it on CD and the only CD player I have is in the car (listening interrupted by several trips). Had I been able to listen more regularly, I'm sure I would have loved it more. I would go 4.5 if that were an option, but it's good enough for the bump up rather than down. The story is slow to develop--there are numerous narrative threads that get developed, but the payoff in the end is worth it. The ending is bittersweet--she leaves some threads unresolved, but leaves us with the information to surmise for ourselves where the story lines must go. I'm happy to read more of her work any time!
