Kate Morton’s The Clockmaker’s Daughter is a richly woven tale of love, loss, and mystery that spans centuries, all centered around Birchwood Manor and the lives of those connected to it. The non-linear timeline adds depth to the storytelling, though it was  confusing at times to figure out the narrator. However, the way history intertwines was intriguing, keeping me engaged and guessing. Morton’s twists are skillfully placed, with several moments that had me gasping out loud in surprise.
