The Clockmaker's Daughter
An Audiobook Novel by Kate Morten
I immediately fell in love with this book's cover. It was one of those surprise book wins that surprised me with a story that slowly became a winner to me. When it ended, I had to thumb through to see if there were any extras. Today's review is The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton.

The Clockmaker's Daughter is a tale of mystery, ghosts, love, and betrayal. It takes place in both the Victorian era as well as the present. When a young woman find a package containing items that had been delivered years ago but never opened, its her adventure to peek inside. What she didn't expect to find was her own life's story.
The Clockmaker's Daughter is one of those books that beautifully written but extremely Victorian. There are times when you have to replay or reread it again, to ensure the proper understanding was received. I had to do that. There are parts of the book that's hilarious and humorous, terribly sad and depressing, beautiful and loving- this book contains it all. You only have to push through the parts that carried meaning but could have been saved.
The mystery and the ghost kept me going more than any other point of view in the story. Because you aren't immediately told who the apparition is or why she's haunting the manor, you are kept baited as she retells her version of what took place. The past is eventually carried to front, making the book engrossing and more than just an easy read. Once the pieces (Elodie's discovery of a mysterious photo, journal and sketchbook) come together, you see where Morton wanted to take the historical tale and you hope beyond hope that things end on a happy note. Then you remember it's a ghost telling the tale!
The Clockmaker's Daughter is a novel for the sappy, romantic types who love flashbacks, jealous friendshiops gone rogue and prissy boarding school girls who love to torture one another. I will look to Morton for more reads in the future because this one was well worth the read. Cheers- I'm on to the next book!
