The Clockmaker's Daughter

Description
Victorian London’s slums aren’t the most suitable place for a young woman who has lost her parents. Still, the street thief’s life seemed to have been destined for her—but everything changes after she meets the artist Richard Radcliffe.
Lily Millington—so she calls herself—becomes his model and his muse. Together with a group of friends, the lovers find themselves in an old mansion by the Thames, carelessly spending the summer of 1862—until their idyllic existence is shattered overnight by a catastrophe that leads to the death of one woman and the disappearance of another.
More than one hundred and fifty years will pass before an old album of the painter’s sketches and a photo portrait of an unknown woman are accidentally found—and the truth finally spills light on the events of the past, buried in the gaps of time.
In her book, Kate Morton, the author of international bestsellers including “When the Mist Clears,” “The Distant Hours,” “The Forgotten Garden,” and others, writes about art and love, terrible losses and remorse, about time and eternity—and that the only path to the future sometimes lies through the past.
Kate Morton is an Australian writer whose books have sold more than 10 million copies in 42 countries around the world.
A mesmerizing and completely unpredictable book with a slow, unhurried narrative. Even until the very end, the full truth isn’t revealed—whatever assumptions arise.
Moving through time, the author weaves many fascinating stories connected with murder and theft, love and emotional losses, family secrets, and lies.
Well-developed characters with whom you start to empathize.
The author raises themes of the fleeting nature of life, time and eternity, truth and beauty. Morton’s creativity will appeal to those who appreciate gothic-style stories in the spirit of “Thirteenth Tale” by Diana Setterfield.
