It covers 150 years, from Victorian England to WWI and WWII, to today. The story is one that sticks with you, appropriately haunting you. Oh, and there’s murder, thievery, romance, betrayal, and a bit of philosophy thrown in too. There is so much to love about this book: a sultry view of Dickensian England and the cut-throat world of art at the time, the idea of a place being outside the precepts of time, and the writing, that beautiful, lyrical writing. This is my second book by Kate Morton, having first read The Forgotten Garden (if you haven’t read it, you should add it to your list too). What happened during the summer of 1862? And how does what happened that night shape the lives of so many seemingly unrelated people across the centuries? The story is told using multiple points of view, with each character’s story filling in one or more pieces to the overarching mystery. It’s a prismatic look at love and loss, finding meaning in life through its meaninglessness, it’s about time and timelessness, time and place, place and art, and the people that are connected by those things in a web of history and circumstance, and dare I say, a bit of fairy magic. That’s how I would describe the tale that Kate Morton wove for us in The Clockmaker’s Daughter.
