Publisher's Summary
Prepare to lose yourself in the enchanting new novel from Kate Morton.
My father called me Birdie; he said I was his little bird. Others knew me as his child, the clockmaker’s daughter. Edward called me his muse, his destiny. I am remembered as a thief, an imposter, a girl who rose above her station, who was not chaste. My real name, no one remembers. The truth about that summer, no one else knows.
In the summer of 1862, a group of young artists led by the passionate and talented Edward Radcliffe descends upon Birchwood Manor in rural Oxfordshire. Their plan: to spend a secluded summer month in a haze of inspiration and creativity. But by the time their stay is over, one woman has been shot dead while another has disappeared; a priceless heirloom is missing; and Edward Radcliffe’s life is in ruins.
Over 150 years later, Elodie Winslow, a young archivist in London, uncovers a leather satchel containing two seemingly unrelated items: a sepia photograph of an arresting-looking woman in Victorian clothing, and an artist’s sketchbook containing the drawing of a twin-gabled house on the bend of a river.
Why does Birchwood Manor feel so familiar to Elodie? And who is the beautiful woman in the photograph? Will she ever give up her secrets?
Told by multiple voices across time, The Clockmaker's Daughter is a story of murder, mystery and thievery, of art, love and loss. And flowing through it like a river is the voice of a woman who stands outside time, whose name has been forgotten by history but who has watched it all unfold: Birdie Bell, the clockmaker’s daughter.

Great story, beautiful narration
I loved this audio book. The story had a dream-like quality and stretched through several eras of life in England. The narrator did a wonderful job of weaving in all of the characters. I really enjoyed it.

Overall a good book, slow to get hooked.
It took quite a while for me to get into this one. The story was good at about a third of the way in and then I was hooked.

An Interesting Story
This was the first Kate Morton book that I have read. She is certainly a good writer, very detailed and descriptive. The storyline had interesting twists and turns. It was a bit long and drawn out for me. I found that the jumping around different timelines confusing and I forgot characters and parts of the story. Hard to keep track, maybe I should have kept notes. From reviews from her other books it appears this is the style that she likes to write in, so maybe not for me going forward. Very impressed with the narrator Joanne Froggatt. Loved her in Downton Abbey as well.
