The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton
5.0

A slow burn throughout the entire novel. Beautiful prose. A ghost story told by a ghost. Similar to the Lovely Bones, the story is told in past/present style but takes very long turns in multiple pasts.

I absolutely loved the pacing in this story. It was slow but not too slow while still wanting to keep reading.

The only drawback was that I didn't feel like it was adequately summed up at the end who each character was in relation to the others in the past. But I could totally look past that since I think that was a "me issue" of reading too fast.
