The Clockmaker's Daughter
Typ alla böcker jag läser får betyget jättebra, men den här var bara bra. Storyn var på många sätt fantastisk och hängde ihop på många spännande sätt, men den blev också lite rörig. Det var på sätt och vis för många historier i en bok och det gjorde att den både kunde kännas långrandig samtidigt som man inte fick veta tillräckligt mycket om varje del. Så på sätt och vis var den för lång och ändå slutade den för fort. Ni vet sådär när man kan förstå hur viktiga delar i historien kommer att fortsätta, men det lämnas osagt. Det gjorde att när boken tog slut kände jag mest irritation.
In the summer of 1862, a group of young artists led by the passionate and talented Edward Radcliffe descends upon Birchwood Manor on the banks of the Upper Thames. 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 one hundred and fifty 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?
