A rich, spellbinding new novel from the author of The
Lake House--the story of a love affair and a mysterious
murder that cast their shadows across generations, set in
England from the 1860s until the present day. 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 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? 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 its pages 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.
