The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton
3.0

I expected more from this after The Secret Garden. There was so much shifting of eras that the story was hard to follow. I can’t imagine how a person who takes things in spurts would be able to keep things straight. There was some delightful descriptions and seeing artists’ models as real people was illuminating. Even with some pretty writing, the story was spoiled by not being clear enough to follow. There didn’t appear to be some great hidden meaning to learn, so why obfuscate the plot. Is there a storyteller who can tell of an epoch without leaping to and fro?
