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

4.0

Thank you to Atria Books for the free book in exchange for my honest opinion.

The Clockmaker’s Daughter was my first Kate Morton book, and I can assure you, it won’t be my last! I will certainly be adding her other works to my list of books to be read.

This story is told across multiple timelines and by multiple points of view. I had no trouble keeping them separate and I think that speaks highly of the author’s writing talents. It was interesting to see how all the different characters across the different timelines were interconnected and their stories woven together.

This author’s writing style is just superb, in my opinion. The prose is beautiful and the author presents us with rich, historical detail that leaves you yearning for more. I kept turning the pages, not wanting to put the book down.

The mystery was blended through the timelines and the fulfillment, or resolution, of the story was satisfying yet at the same time, still left some questions unanswered. But we can’t expect a house to give up all its secrets, now can we? However, I do feel that the ending was wrapped up a little too quickly and it left some gaps in the conclusions of some of the characters’ tales. I must also say that I was expecting a slightly different ending, but all in all, I highly recommend this book and I can’t wait to read more of Kate Morton’s books.
