The Clockmaker's Daughter

Kate Morton's book, The Clockmaker's Daughter, has multiple voices and a lot of characters to keep track of. I suggest to keep notes as it also switches back and forth between generations. Morton's writing is shear beauty and the plot is a interesting one. It's a book about murder, mystery and thievery. Birdie Bell is the clockmaker's daughter who stands outside of time while history forgot her name and she watches everything unfold in the story. If you stick through the slow start and the many characters to keep track of, you will find a rewarding read in the end.
