zbmorgan 's review for:

The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton
3.0

While this was my first time reading Morton, I'm told she does this a great deal - weaves many timelines together and eventually connects them in a way that shows you where she was going all along. It simply took too long for me, and while the last eighth of the book was very satisfying, much of the previous 'where is she going with this' doesn't get wrapped up as neatly as some. We spend a lot of time with Elodie, so why don't we see what happens to her? I get it, I really do, and if you have the patience for a ghost story in reverse that takes a long time to tell, she does a nice job, but if the woven threads of a braid for you must be balanced and given equal time and attention, this might not be the book for you.
