uncommongrace25 's review for:
The Clockmaker's Daughter
by Kate Morton
This was my first finished book for 2019. I love Kate Morton and has been eagerly awaiting this one, but like others who have reviewed it, I was disappointed. It has a lot of the favorite qualities— turn of the century setting, evocative house as character, mystery, multiple narrators and time frames— buy it just felt unwieldy.
The individual threads had beauty but the book felt overwhelmed by the number of them
. Threads were started but never adequately followed through and once engaged she would pick up another one. Less is more sometimes and I think that was true with this book.
I did enjoy reading it but it took forever— how much was the holidays and how much the story remains to be seen. It is now 7 days past due to the library!
